Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

About our bath repair in Callington

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why Callington clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlords, agents and businesses in Callington

If you manage property in Callington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Callington

How much does bath repair cost in Callington?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
