Repair or replace in Bishopsteignton?
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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures

How we handle bath repair in Bishopsteignton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Bishopsteignton
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When to call us in Bishopsteignton
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
