Questions from Bere Alston
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Bath repair at your home in Bere Alston
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bere Alston as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bere Alston
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Repair or replace in Bere Alston?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place
- One price list for the whole UK

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bere Alston. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
