How we handle bath repair in Payhembury
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Payhembury and across Devon.

Questions from Payhembury
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Payhembury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One price list for the entire UK
- We leave the room as we found it

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Do you need bath repair in Payhembury?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
