Bath repair in Lynton without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need bath repair in Lynton?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Lynton: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
