Book bath repair in Raginnis

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Bath repair in Raginnis without replacing anything

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. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Raginnis

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Raginnis

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Raginnis

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
