How we handle bath repair in Uplyme
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Uplyme?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Uplyme
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Are there extra charges for Uplyme?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in Uplyme
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uplyme as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
