What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Modbury
If you manage property in Modbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
What we are called out for in Modbury
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Modbury contact us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
What affects the price in Modbury
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
