About our bath repair in Cottesbrooke
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Cottesbrooke, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When to call us in Cottesbrooke
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
