Bath repair at your home in Ashburton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Ashburton?
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Landlord and trade work in Ashburton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashburton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Ashburton questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
