How bath repair works in Plymouth

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

Unusual colours or finishes
How many items we do on one visit
Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

What it’s made of, if you know
One sharp close-up of the damage
Natural light rather than flash
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Your questions about bath repair in Plymouth

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
