FAQs for Kingskerswell

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Kingskerswell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kingskerswell and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kingskerswell, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kingskerswell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
