Bath repair in Roborough, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. 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. We are often asked to fix a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Roborough. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Roborough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
When to call us in Roborough
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Roborough
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Roborough?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
