Bath repair in Frithelstock Stone, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Frithelstock Stone
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frithelstock Stone
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are

What else we do in Frithelstock Stone
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Frithelstock Stone. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Frithelstock Stone questions
How much does bath repair cost in Frithelstock Stone?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Frithelstock Stone?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Frithelstock Stone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Across the UK, and that includes Frithelstock Stone. Our prices are the same everywhere.
