What affects the price in Buckland Newton
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Bath repair in Buckland Newton, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Do you need bath repair in Buckland Newton?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckland Newton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Questions from Buckland Newton
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Buckland Newton is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

More services for Buckland Newton
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Buckland Newton
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
