What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Washfield. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
About our bath repair in Washfield
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
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.
What else we do in Washfield
Questions from Washfield
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does bath repair cost in Washfield?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
