About our bath repair in Coxhoe
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coxhoe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Coxhoe. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Coxhoe questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover Coxhoe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Coxhoe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
