Bath repair at your home in EX19

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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.

What you will pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Near you in Winkleigh

Typical jobs here are in homes near Winkleigh Hotel, Church of All Saints and Winkleigh Primary School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Eggesford station, about 3.8 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Millsome Castle (2.6 miles south-east).

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in EX19, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

FAQs for EX19

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you work in EX19?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to EX19 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How invisible is a bath repair?

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.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
