Repairing versus replacing in South Petherwin

A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for South Petherwin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath repair at your home in South Petherwin
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Signs you need bath repair in South Petherwin
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for South Petherwin. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for South Petherwin
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you come to South Petherwin?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to South Petherwin from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
