Bath repair in George Nympton without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in George Nympton and across Devon.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start 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.
Why choose Surface Doctor in George Nympton

Landlord and trade work in George Nympton
If you manage property in George Nympton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How much does bath repair cost in George Nympton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
