Bath repair in Clyst Honiton, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Clyst Honiton as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Clyst Honiton

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clyst Honiton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
