Colthrop questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Colthrop is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How we handle bath repair in Colthrop
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colthrop as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
