About our bath repair in Copshaw Holm
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TD9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Copshaw Holm questions
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TD9 postcode.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Copshaw Holm and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should you replace it?
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 a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Copshaw Holm. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Copshaw Holm. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Copshaw Holm, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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’s what we repair.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Copshaw Holm, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
