Bath Repair in Cotman's Ash

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

The process
There is 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 two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Cotman's Ash
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, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
