About our bath repair in Cowley
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic 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 not left on your own once we have gone.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cowley. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why Cowley clients choose us

- Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Cowley
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cowley.
Do you come to Cowley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cowley and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
