Bath chip & crack repair in Chulmleigh, Devon
Problem with your bath in Chulmleigh? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath repair in Chulmleigh, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

What else we do in Chulmleigh
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairing versus replacing in Chulmleigh
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common questions in Chulmleigh
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we’re called out for in Chulmleigh
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
