Your questions about bath repair in Great Torrington
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What affects the price in Great Torrington
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Great Torrington. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace in Great Torrington?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
