About bath repair in TQ14
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
What it costs in TQ14
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What’s near Teignmouth
We visit homes around The Blue Anchor Public House, Church of St James (Parish Church of West Teignmouth) and Our Lady and St Patrick's Roman Catholic Primary School. There’s a railway station in Teignmouth itself: Teignmouth station. A little further out are Cary Castle (5 miles south) and Old Newton Abbot Hospital (5 miles west). Open spaces near Teignmouth include Labrador Bay RSPB Reserve.
Landlords, agents and businesses in TQ14
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in TQ14 as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from TQ14
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in TQ14?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to TQ14 and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
