How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What else we do in Hittisleigh
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hittisleigh
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Hittisleigh?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Common reasons people in Hittisleigh contact us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Hittisleigh questions
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Hittisleigh
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
