Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath repair at your home in Berrynarbor
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and damage beneath the taps.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Berrynarbor questions
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 picture.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
