Your questions about bath repair in Westacott

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you work in Westacott?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Westacott. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

About our bath repair in Westacott

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Westacott. The price reflects:

What the surface is made of
Unusual colours or finishes
The size and number of damaged areas
How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Any earlier repairs or coatings
A clear, close picture of the problem area
What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.

We protect the bath and the floor around it.
We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
