Bath repair in Bocombe, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Do you need bath repair in Bocombe?

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Bocombe

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Bocombe

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Bocombe customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bocombe. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Bocombe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bocombe questions

How do I get a price for bath repair in Bocombe?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
