How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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 normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we are called out for in Torcross
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Common questions in Torcross
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Torcross
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Torcross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Torcross
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
