About our bath repair in Cosby
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Cosby?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Cosby
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before booking anyone

- How to look after the finish

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Questions from Cosby
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you come to Cosby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cosby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
