Bath repair in Coles Green, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Coles Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK

When to call us in Coles Green

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
