About our bath repair in Churchstow

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath repair in Churchstow

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we are called out for in Churchstow

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace in Churchstow?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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