About our bath repair in Wembury Point
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wembury Point. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
