Bath repair for Copplestone homes

Bath repair at your home in Copplestone

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Copplestone and across Devon.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Copplestone: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel

Landlord and trade work in Copplestone

Repair or replace in Copplestone?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Copplestone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Have new chips seen to early

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used 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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
