Bath repair in Seaton

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

About our bath repair in Seaton

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. We are often asked to fix chips caused by builders and rusty patches near the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

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

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Seaton

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Seaton questions

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, 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.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Are there extra charges for Seaton?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
