Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

FAQs for Collipy's Green
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Collipy's Green
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Collipy's Green
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Common problems we fix in Collipy's Green
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
