What affects the price in Walkhampton

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

How hard the colour is to match
Whether we combine several jobs
The material and finish
How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A picture taken from further back
Your postcode, so we can check dates
Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle bath repair in Walkhampton

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks in an acrylic bath.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Have new chips seen to early
Store metal items away from the bath
Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walkhampton

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

For anyone letting property in or around Walkhampton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Keep a parking space free if you can
Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

Should you replace it?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Walkhampton

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
