Bath repair at your home in Coltness

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What we are called out for in Coltness

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

How to compare quotes

Coltness: your questions answered

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How much does bath repair cost in Coltness?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you come to Coltness?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Coltness. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Coltness. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
