- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Do you need bath repair in Colney Heath?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Colney Heath
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Colney Heath?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the entire UK
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. 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.
