About our bath repair in Coton Hill
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Coton Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Coton Hill questions
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Coton Hill
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Coton Hill contact us are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
