Bath repair at your home in Newton Abbot
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newton Abbot. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Newton Abbot
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton Abbot
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton Abbot as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Do you need bath repair in Newton Abbot?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
