Landlord and trade work in Coldhurst
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Coldhurst questions
Do you come to Coldhurst?
We do. We send a technician to Coldhurst for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
For a price in Coldhurst, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need bath repair in Coldhurst
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
