Bath repair at your home in Ashcombe
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. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

- Deep scratches in acrylic

- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Ashcombe questions
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
