How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Slapton. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Slapton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?

Slapton questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you come to Slapton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Slapton and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Slapton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need bath repair in Slapton?
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
