Your questions about bath repair in Whitnage
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Whitnage and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitnage use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitnage. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
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
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Whitnage
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
