- Repairs from £95

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
About our bath repair in Dawlish
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We are frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dawlish and across Devon.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dawlish
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Questions from Dawlish
Do you cover Dawlish?
We do. We send a technician to Dawlish for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair

What we’re called out for in Dawlish
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
