About our bath repair in Higher Clovelly
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Higher Clovelly as everywhere else we work.

Do you need bath repair in Higher Clovelly?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Look out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Higher Clovelly: your questions answered
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
