- Repairs from £95

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

About our bath repair in Estover
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

Common problems we fix in Estover
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Estover
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Estover
If you manage property in Estover, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Estover questions
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
