What else we do in Heanton Punchardon
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Common questions in Heanton Punchardon
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we’re called out for in Heanton Punchardon
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Heanton Punchardon
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What affects the price in Heanton Punchardon
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Heanton Punchardon. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
