Bath repair near Okehampton

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Bath repair in Okehampton without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Okehampton and across Devon.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Questions from Okehampton

Do you cover Okehampton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Okehampton and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Okehampton

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
