Bath repair for North Seaton homes

What affects the price in North Seaton

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to North Seaton. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Bath repair in North Seaton, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around North Seaton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Should you replace it?

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 entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in North Seaton?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
