What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bridestowe. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Bath repair at your home in Bridestowe

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. 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, in much the same way.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

Common questions in Bridestowe

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How much does bath repair cost in Bridestowe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX20 postcode.

How soon can you come?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bridestowe

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need bath repair in Bridestowe

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Common reasons people in Bridestowe contact us include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
