Bath repair in Coleham, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath repair in Coleham
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Landlord and trade work in Coleham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Questions from Coleham
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work in Coleham?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Coleham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
For a price in Coleham, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
