Bath Repair for Coalhill homes
Bath repair in and around Coalhill: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath repair in Coalhill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Coalhill: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

For anyone letting property in or around Coalhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Coalhill
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

- What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
