Bath repair in Digby, done in place

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Digby

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Digby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

FAQs for Digby

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Digby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, 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. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
