Bath repair in Cootham without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Cootham: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Cootham?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
