What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What else we do in Cosham
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace in Cosham?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Cosham questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Cosham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cosham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cosham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
