Advice
About our bath repair in Axmouth
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
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 Axmouth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Axmouth
Do you come to Axmouth?
We do. We send a technician to Axmouth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Common problems we fix in Axmouth
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Axmouth contact us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repair or replace in Axmouth?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
