What affects the price in Sticklepath
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
About our bath repair in Sticklepath
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Sticklepath
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Sticklepath
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.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Sticklepath?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work in Sticklepath?
We do. We send a technician to Sticklepath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sticklepath
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sticklepath as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Most customers in Sticklepath get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Sticklepath
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
