DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle bath repair in Mylor Bridge

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel

Your questions about bath repair in Mylor Bridge

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do you come to Mylor Bridge?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Mylor Bridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What affects the price in Mylor Bridge

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mylor Bridge. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we’re called out for in Mylor Bridge

Common reasons people in Mylor Bridge contact us are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides

  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

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 is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
