Bath repair at your home in Collin
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We are often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Collin
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Common questions in Collin
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Collin?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
