A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we handle bath repair in Ashill
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are often asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Do you need bath repair in Ashill?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Ashill questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
