Bath repair at your home in East Budleigh

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit.

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

When to call us in East Budleigh

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in East Budleigh

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
