Common questions in Sampford Courtenay
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover Sampford Courtenay?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sampford Courtenay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Bath repair in Sampford Courtenay without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

What else we do in Sampford Courtenay
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Common problems we fix in Sampford Courtenay
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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 repair chips early.
What affects the price in Sampford Courtenay
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

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