North Cove questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
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.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Bath repair in North Cove, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What affects the price in North Cove
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to North Cove. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for North Cove. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
