Bath repair in Budleigh Salterton, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What else we do in Budleigh Salterton
Repairing versus replacing in Budleigh Salterton
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we’re called out for in Budleigh Salterton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
