How we handle bath repair in Thorverton

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorverton and across Devon.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Your questions about bath repair in Thorverton

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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 do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover Thorverton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Thorverton and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Thorverton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace in Thorverton?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorverton

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorverton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Thorverton

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
