For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Bath repair in Larkbeare without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Questions from Larkbeare
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EX2 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Larkbeare. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Larkbeare
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
