Bath repair in Culmstock, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Look after 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.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
