- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

About our bath repair in Roundswell
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace in Roundswell?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
FAQs for Roundswell
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
