Bath repair at your home in East Prawle
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common questions in East Prawle
Are there extra charges for East Prawle?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in East Prawle
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in East Prawle contact us are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
