About bath repair in TQ10

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Landmarks near South Brent

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to South Brent Primary School, South Brent Methodist Church and Pack Horse pub and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Ivybridge station, about 3.9 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Moorhaven Hospital (2.7 miles south-west). The countryside around South Brent includes Butterdon Hill.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to TQ10. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish

Honest limits

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

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
