How we handle bath repair in Covenham St Mary
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace in Covenham St Mary?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Covenham St Mary questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Covenham St Mary
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
