Bath repair in Praze-an-Beeble without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Praze-an-Beeble

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Praze-an-Beeble, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Praze-an-Beeble

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Holes from dropped items

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Praze-an-Beeble questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
