Bath repair at your home in Cople
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Cople
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Common questions in Cople
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Cople
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
