What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Cheriton Bishop

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How much does bath repair cost in Cheriton Bishop?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX6 postcode.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What affects the price in Cheriton Bishop

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Signs you need bath repair in Cheriton Bishop

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
