How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

About our bath repair in Seaton

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Seaton: your questions answered

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Common problems we fix in Seaton

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Seaton?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Seaton clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
