Bath repair near Bradninch

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Bradninch, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we handle bath repair in Bradninch

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Bradninch and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Questions from Bradninch

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Are there extra charges for Bradninch?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Do you need bath repair in Bradninch?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bradninch

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
