How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Bath repair in Yarcombe without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Do you need bath repair in Yarcombe?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice

FAQs for Yarcombe
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover Yarcombe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Yarcombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Yarcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
