How we handle bath repair in Devonside
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and rusty patches near the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What else we do in Devonside
Do you need bath repair in Devonside?
Rust typically 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.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Devonside: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Devonside?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Devonside use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Devonside, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
