Bath repair in Cowgrove, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
We do not add 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
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Questions from Cowgrove
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Do you need bath repair in Cowgrove?
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
