About our bath repair in Christow

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Christow and across Devon.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Christow, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Christow. The price depends on:

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

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Christow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Christow: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How much does bath repair cost in Christow?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll 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. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When to call us in Christow

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for these signs:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
