Bath repair at your home in Coxbench
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not 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.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Coxbench
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coxbench. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
