Bath repair in Ipplepen without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Ipplepen: your questions answered
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you come to Ipplepen?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ipplepen from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
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.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ipplepen. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos 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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Ipplepen
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
