Bath repair at your home in Manadon
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about bath repair in Manadon
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover Manadon?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Manadon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you need bath repair in Manadon?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

About Manadon
Manadon is about 2 miles north of Plymouth, in Plymouth. Our technicians come to customers in Manadon, so you do not need to take anything anywhere. Manadon is one of 59 towns and villages in Plymouth where we work.
All of PL5 and PL6 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. From Derby Road, Brake Road and Cowley Road or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. You will find Manadon on the A386, so it’s easy for us to reach. We also cover the places around Manadon: Crownhill (1 mile south-east), Whitleigh (1 mile north-west), Southway (1 mile north), Tamerton Foliot (1 mile north-west) and Honicknowle (1 mile west). Further out, we also cover Lipson (3 miles south), Stoke (3 miles south-west), Ford (3 miles south-west), Keyham (3 miles south-west), Burraton (4 miles west) and Plympton St Maurice (5 miles south-east).

Nearby too are Church of the Ascension (0.6 miles south) and Sir John Hunt Community Sports College (under half a mile north-west).

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Manadon
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it

- One visit for most repairs

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
