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, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Cotes without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What affects the price in Cotes
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

FAQs for Cotes
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How much does bath repair cost in Cotes?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you need bath repair in Cotes?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
