Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Colt's Hill questions
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you come to Colt's Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Colt's Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What else we do in Colt's Hill
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we’re called out for in Colt's Hill
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
