Bath repair for Deveral homes

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

About our bath repair in Deveral

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Deveral and across Cornwall.

Your questions about bath repair in Deveral

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work in Deveral?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Deveral for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

Will it make a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Deveral

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Deveral. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Deveral?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlord and trade work in Deveral

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
