Questions from Cote
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BN13 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cote. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cote, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down 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
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Signs you need bath repair in Cote
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Cote contact us are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
