Bath repair in Chawleigh without replacing anything
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 repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Do you need bath repair in Chawleigh?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Chawleigh, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chawleigh. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Common questions in Chawleigh
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
