How we handle bath repair in Telscombe Cliffs

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Telscombe Cliffs: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Do you come to Telscombe Cliffs?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Telscombe Cliffs from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Telscombe Cliffs. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s 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, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
