What we are called out for in Buckland Brewer
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Bath repair in Buckland Brewer without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common questions in Buckland Brewer
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Buckland Brewer?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Buckland Brewer
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
