How we handle bath repair in Colwall Stone
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
FAQs for Colwall Stone
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Colwall Stone?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When to call us in Colwall Stone
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Colwall Stone contact us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace in Colwall Stone?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
