- Repairs from £95

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Bath repair in Bigbury-on-Sea without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Bigbury-on-Sea
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Bigbury-on-Sea contact us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about bath repair in Bigbury-on-Sea
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Bigbury-on-Sea.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
