How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Collydean
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Collydean?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your photos

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Collydean, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
