About our bath repair in Covington
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Covington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Covington
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Covington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Covington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Covington: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish

What we’re called out for in Covington
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
