About our bath repair in Cadeleigh
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and a chip where the taps sit.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cadeleigh as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Cadeleigh questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Signs you need bath repair in Cadeleigh
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairs by material
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. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
