A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot.

Questions from Bradwell

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We cover the entire UK, including Bradwell and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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’s what we repair.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Bradwell?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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 Bradwell clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When to call us in Bradwell

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bradwell, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Bradwell

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.
