- Repairs from £95

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Plympton St Maurice
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Plympton St Maurice

Landlord and trade work in Plympton St Maurice
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need bath repair in Plympton St Maurice
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs
