DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairing versus replacing in Cotham
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cotham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about bath repair in Cotham
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
