How we handle bath repair in Colyford

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.

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

Repair or replace in Colyford?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Colyford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
