About bath repair in EX17

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and deep scratches in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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.

Prices in EX17

What’s near Crediton

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Queen Elizabeth's, Church of the Holy Cross and The Three Little Pigs pub and the streets around them. The closest station to Crediton is Crediton station, about 0.6 miles south-east. Further afield, we also cover the area around Crediton Museum (less than half a mile west) and Crediton Hospital (0.9 miles west). The countryside around Crediton includes Raddon Top.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in EX17

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Landlords, agents and businesses in EX17

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in EX17 use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
