What we are called out for in Bulverton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
How we handle bath repair in Bulverton
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

Bulverton: your questions answered
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What affects the price in Bulverton
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bulverton. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
