Bath chip & crack repair in Cranbrook, Devon

- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath repair in Cranbrook, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cranbrook as everywhere else we work.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Cranbrook
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work in Cranbrook?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cranbrook. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Cranbrook?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in Cranbrook?
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cranbrook. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Cranbrook, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
