Bath Repair in Colyton
Local bath repair for Colyton: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Bath repair in Colyton, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What else we do in Colyton
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Colyton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps

Common questions in Colyton
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Colyton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
