How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What else we do in Chelynch
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When to call us in Chelynch
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before you book anyone
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Common questions in Chelynch
How do I get a price for bath repair in Chelynch?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
