Bath repair at your home in Burscott
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Burscott
Repairing versus replacing in Burscott
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What affects the price in Burscott
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
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, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Most clients in Burscott get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Burscott?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Common questions in Burscott
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Burscott?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
