About our bath repair in Coveney
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Coveney questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Coveney, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Coveney
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Coveney

What else we do in Coveney
Do you need bath repair in Coveney?
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Coveney contact us are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
