Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair in Withleigh without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Withleigh use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we’re called out for in Withleigh
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Common questions in Withleigh
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you cover Withleigh?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Withleigh and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What bath repair costs

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Withleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Withleigh
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. 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.

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
