- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Bath repair in Poughill without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Poughill and across Devon.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, 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.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Poughill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Landlords, agents and businesses in Poughill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Poughill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site
See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Common questions in Poughill
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Poughill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Poughill and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
