Bath repair for Port Isaac homes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

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 it’s worth getting them done early.

About our bath repair in Port Isaac

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and rusty patches near the plughole.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Port Isaac

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

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 the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about bath repair in Port Isaac

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is there a guarantee?

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

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
