About our bath repair in Newton Poppleford
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton Poppleford
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Newton Poppleford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Do you need bath repair in Newton Poppleford?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

FAQs for Newton Poppleford
Is a bath repair permanent?

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
