Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Colney Street get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle bath repair in Colney Street
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about bath repair in Colney Street
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we are called out for in Colney Street
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
