Repairing versus replacing in Buckland

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

Bath repair in Buckland without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

Do you need bath repair in Buckland?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Buckland

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Questions from Buckland

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you cover Buckland?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Buckland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Buckland. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
