Bath repair in Cox Green without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour-matched on site

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Cox Green
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Cox Green and the rest of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cox Green. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Cox Green
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
