- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Bath repair at your home in St Loye's
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we are called out for in St Loye's
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Questions from St Loye's
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including St Loye's and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in St Loye's?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in St Loye's.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace in St Loye's?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair

- No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.
