Repairing versus replacing in Weston

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Bath repair in Weston without replacing anything

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Weston and across Devon.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Weston. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath repair in Weston

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Weston included. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we’re called out for in Weston

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
