Bath repair at your home in Philleigh
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.

Questions from Philleigh
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Philleigh?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TR2 postcode.
Do you come to Philleigh?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Philleigh for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
