Bath repair near Collieston

Bath repair in Collieston without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Collieston

If you manage property in Collieston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Collieston. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
