What affects the price in Stokeinteignhead

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stokeinteignhead. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Stokeinteignhead

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stokeinteignhead as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Stokeinteignhead?

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

What we work on

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