DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our bath repair in Bridford
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. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

About Bridford
Bridford is about 8 miles south-west of Exeter, in Devon. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Bridford is one of 586 towns and villages in Devon we cover.
All of EX6 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. From Pound Lane, Neadon Lane and Church Lane or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. Neighbouring places we cover include Christow (1 mile south-east), Dunsford (2 miles north), Hennock (4 miles south), Trusham (4 miles south-east) and Hawkmoor Parke (4 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Exeter (8 miles north-east), Exmouth (12 miles east), Newton Abbot (10 miles south), Teignmouth (11 miles south-east), Kingsteignton (9 miles south-east) and Dawlish (11 miles south-east).
Landmarks near Bridford
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Church of St Thomas A Becket and Bridford Inn and the streets around them. Nearby you’ll also find Hawkmoor Hospital (3.6 miles south). For a walk, there is Hingston Down.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Bridford
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bridford. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
If you’re in Bridford and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price

Advice
Bridford: your questions answered
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Bridford?
We do. We send a technician to Bridford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we’re called out for in Bridford
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Bridford contact us are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
