Bath repair in Ladock

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath repair at your home in Ladock

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Ladock questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you come to Ladock?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ladock. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Ladock

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
