Bath repair in Seaton without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Seaton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Seaton: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you work in Seaton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Seaton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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 will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Seaton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath repair in Seaton?
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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
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.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
