Bath Repair in Cowmes

- Chips on the rim or sides
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Bath repair in Cowmes, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Cowmes
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowmes use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
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 will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When to call us in Cowmes
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
