About our bath repair in Colney Butts
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Repair or replace in Colney Butts?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colney Butts as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Colney Butts
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
