About our bath repair in Bratton Fleming
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Repair or replace in Bratton Fleming?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- 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. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in Bratton Fleming
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
