Bath repair in Cotness, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace in Cotness?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Do you need bath repair in Cotness?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Cotness questions
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Cotness?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Landlord and trade work in Cotness
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cotness use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cotness, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Cotness get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
