Bath repair in Exbourne without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need bath repair in Exbourne?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Exbourne
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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 is the part we put right.
Exbourne and the surrounding area
Exbourne is about 18 miles south-east of Bideford, in Devon. We visit clients in Exbourne and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Exbourne is one of 586 towns and villages in Devon we cover.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
