Bath repair in Thelbridge without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Thelbridge
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include

Thelbridge: your questions answered
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Thelbridge get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Thelbridge
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thelbridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
