Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. In an older home in a village like Staddiscombe, replacing a bath can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Staddiscombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Bath repair in Staddiscombe, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.
Somewhere as small as Staddiscombe, you’ll find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Bath repair in place avoids all of that.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
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.
What affects the price in Staddiscombe
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Staddiscombe. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need bath repair in Staddiscombe
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
In the older streets of Staddiscombe, around landmarks like Church of St Mary and All Saints, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Your questions about bath repair in Staddiscombe
Can you repair baths in a rental near Plymouth station?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Is it worth repairing old baths in a period home in Staddiscombe?
Typically, yes. Older baths are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?
We cover the whole UK, including Staddiscombe and the rest of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work in Staddiscombe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Staddiscombe and the rest of Plymouth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used. For a rural address like Staddiscombe, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the bath repair, so there is no second trip.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
