Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
About our bath repair in Cotes Heath
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and damage beneath the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Cotes Heath
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos 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 you will get a fixed figure back.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Cotes Heath
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Cotes Heath
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
What we’re called out for in Cotes Heath
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
