Do you need bath repair in Landkey?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

FAQs for Landkey

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What does bath repair cost?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will the repair last?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Landkey. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
