When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in New Polzeath

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in New Polzeath

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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for New Polzeath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in New Polzeath

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for New Polzeath?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Advice

Signs you need bath repair in New Polzeath

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Look out for these signs:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Polzeath

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
