Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

About our bath repair in Coxwold
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
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’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Coxwold
For anyone letting property in or around Coxwold, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
FAQs for Coxwold
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Coxwold, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When to call us in Coxwold
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
