Bath repair in Colmonell

Bath repair in Colmonell, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and damage beneath the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Colmonell

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Colmonell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Colmonell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Colmonell

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colmonell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Colmonell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense 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’s the part we put right.

Repairing versus replacing in Colmonell

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
