Bath repair in Plymouth, done in place
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.
What we are called out for in Plymouth
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
FAQs for Plymouth
Do you cover the entire of Plymouth?
We cover the whole UK, including Plymouth and the rest of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Plymouth
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
