Bath Repair in Brixham
Damaged bath in Brixham? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

About our bath repair in Brixham
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and deep scratches in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Brixham: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TQ5 postcode.
Do you need bath repair in Brixham?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
