Bath Repair for Cove Bay homes
Fixed-price bath repair in Cove Bay and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Bath repair at your home in Cove Bay
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Cove Bay
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
If you’re in Cove Bay and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
When to call us in Cove Bay
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Cove Bay questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
