Bath repair in Tregurnow

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath repair in Tregurnow

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath repair in Tregurnow

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it messy?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Tregurnow?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TR19 postcode.

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 is not disturbed while it cures.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Do you need bath repair in Tregurnow?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What affects the price in Tregurnow

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Landlord and trade work in Tregurnow

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tregurnow as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
