About our bath repair in Crediton

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

FAQs for Crediton

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How much does bath repair cost in Crediton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Crediton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
