About our bath repair in Saltash
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Saltash
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Common questions in Saltash
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are there extra charges for Saltash?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
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.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What affects the price in Saltash
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Saltash. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Repairing versus replacing in Saltash
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
