Our bath repair service in EX23

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last.

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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, generally the day after.

Prices in EX23

Landmarks near Bude

Typical jobs here are in homes near Budehaven Community School, St Michael and All Angels Church and Bude Primary Academy - Infants and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Militaria Museum (within half a mile west) and Penstowe Castle (3.7 miles north-east). The countryside around Bude includes Maer Lake.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in EX23, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place.

What we’re called out for in EX23

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in EX23

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

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