About our bath repair in Colsterworth

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colsterworth

For anyone letting property in or around Colsterworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colsterworth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Colsterworth questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Colsterworth?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
