About our bath repair in Cosford
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 day after. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and rust spots around the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Questions from Cosford
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Cosford?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Cosford
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items

Repair or replace in Cosford?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
