About our bath repair in Lower Copthurst
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace in Lower Copthurst?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Lower Copthurst: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
