About our bath repair in Shebbear
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Shebbear
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Shebbear?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shebbear for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Repair or replace in Shebbear?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath repair in Shebbear?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Landlord and trade work in Shebbear
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shebbear use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shebbear, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shebbear. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
