Bath chip & crack repair in Branscombe, Devon
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Branscombe, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our bath repair in Branscombe
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Branscombe as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Questions from Branscombe
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work in Branscombe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Branscombe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Branscombe
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Branscombe
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
