About our bath repair in Ermington
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ermington and across Devon.

Common questions in Ermington
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ermington.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
How much does bath repair cost in Ermington?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. 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.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before booking
See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Signs you need bath repair in Ermington
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
