Bath repair in Yealmbridge, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Yealmbridge questions
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Yealmbridge and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do you cover Yealmbridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Yealmbridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
