What we’re called out for in North Buckland
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Repair or replace in North Buckland?

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Questions from North Buckland
Will you leave a mess?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
