Bath repair at your home in Ernesettle
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

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, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What we are called out for in Ernesettle
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions from Ernesettle
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Ernesettle and the rest of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How much does bath repair cost in Ernesettle?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Ernesettle?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ernesettle and the rest of Plymouth. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

What else we do in Ernesettle
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ernesettle
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ernesettle use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Ernesettle customers choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
