Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Heybrook Bay. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about bath repair in Heybrook Bay
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Do you need bath repair in Heybrook Bay?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for 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 price the job the same day in most cases.
