Bath repair in Yondertown without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Yondertown questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We cover the entire UK, including Yondertown and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Yondertown?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Landlord and trade work in Yondertown
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
If you manage property in Yondertown, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath repair in Yondertown
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
