Bath repair for Ugborough homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Bath repair in Ugborough without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. 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.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Landlord and trade work in Ugborough

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What we are called out for in Ugborough

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Common reasons people in Ugborough contact us are:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
