Bath repair in Team Colliery, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Team Colliery

- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Team Colliery

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
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.
Team Colliery questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Team Colliery?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
