Bath repair at your home in Kenton
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. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
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 give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Questions from Kenton
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
