How we handle bath repair in Collaton St Mary
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Collaton St Mary and across Torbay.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Signs you need bath repair in Collaton St Mary
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side

Collaton St Mary questions
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the whole of Torbay?
Across the UK, and that includes Collaton St Mary. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Collaton St Mary. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
