Bath repair in West Buckland without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repair or replace in West Buckland?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle 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.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
