Bath repair at your home in Battledown Cross
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Battledown Cross as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Battledown Cross questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel

What affects the price in Battledown Cross
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Battledown Cross
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Common reasons people in Battledown Cross contact us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
