Bath repair for Collyweston homes

Bath repair at your home in Collyweston

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Collyweston

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need bath repair in Collyweston?

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

Common reasons people in Collyweston contact us are:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

What affects the price in Collyweston

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Most customers in Collyweston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Collyweston questions

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
