Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Bath repair in Kingsteignton, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Common problems we fix in Kingsteignton

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Look out for these signs:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Kingsteignton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Kingsteignton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Landlord and trade work in Kingsteignton

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
