Bath repair at your home in Axtown
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Axtown?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Axtown
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
FAQs for Axtown
How do I get a price for bath repair in Axtown?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Jobs in PL20 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Streets in the area include Whistley Down and Moorland Court.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
