Your questions about bath repair in Smallridge
How do I get a price for bath repair in Smallridge?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX13 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Bath repair in Smallridge, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Smallridge
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What else we do in Smallridge
What we’re called out for in Smallridge
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
