Bath chip & crack repair in Benton, Devon
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Benton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How we handle bath repair in Benton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and deep scratches in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Benton
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you come to Benton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Benton and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace in Benton?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
