Bath repair in Cottisford without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Cottisford
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in Cottisford
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cottisford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Cottisford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
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 a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
