How we handle bath repair in Cotton Stones
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. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

FAQs for Cotton Stones
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cotton Stones.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
