Bath repair for Littlehempston homes

Littlehempston: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How we handle bath repair in Littlehempston

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a chipped rim or side, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Littlehempston and across Devon.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Repairing versus replacing in Littlehempston

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Common problems we fix in Littlehempston

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Littlehempston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Littlehempston

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Littlehempston. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
