How we handle bath repair in Colebatch
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

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. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What affects the price in Colebatch
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Colebatch. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Colebatch get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Colebatch
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Common questions in Colebatch
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Colebatch. Prices do not change with location.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Colebatch, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
