Bath repair at your home in Coronation
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coronation
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Coronation
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath

FAQs for Coronation
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Coronation?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Coronation. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Coronation
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
