Bath repair in Scorriton without replacing anything

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Scorriton

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Landlord and trade work in Scorriton

For anyone letting property in or around Scorriton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Scorriton

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Common questions in Scorriton

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
