Bath Repair for Great Coates homes
Damaged bath in Great Coates? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
About our bath repair in Great Coates
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Great Coates and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

When to call us in Great Coates
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
Questions from Great Coates
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover Great Coates?
We do. We send a technician to Great Coates for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- 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 the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
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 price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
