Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
How we handle bath repair in Car Colston
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Car Colston as everywhere else we work.

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
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Common problems we fix in Car Colston
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
