What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

About our bath repair in Coxford

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Coxford

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Are there extra charges for Coxford?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

When to call us in Coxford

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coxford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Southampton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
