Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Bath repair in Week St Mary, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

When to call us in Week St Mary

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

FAQs for Week St Mary

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, Week St Mary included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Week St Mary. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Week St Mary customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
