How we handle bath repair in Covingham
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Covingham. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: 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
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Covingham
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Covingham questions

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
