How we handle bath repair in West Cowick
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

All about bath chip & crack repair
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
If you’re in West Cowick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What affects the price in West Cowick
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Cowick. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in West Cowick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from West Cowick
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
