Bath repair across TR26: what to expect

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side.

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

What it costs in TR26

Ask for a price

Near you in St Ives

We visit homes around Bedford Road Methodist Church, St Ives School and St Ives Infant School, among other places. St Ives has its own railway station: St Ives station. Further afield, we also cover the area around St Michael's Hospital (3.4 miles south-east) and Barnes Museum of Cinematography (less than half a mile north-east). The countryside around St Ives includes Trink Hill and Baker's Pit Nature Reserve.

Common problems we fix in TR26

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repair or replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in TR26 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around TR26, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

TR26: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
