Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we are called out for in Capel Colman

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Capel Colman questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Capel Colman and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
