How we handle bath repair in Haccombe
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Somewhere as small as Haccombe, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Bath repair in place avoids all of that.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Haccombe questions
Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Haccombe?
Often, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do you come out to small places like Haccombe?
Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon. For a rural address like Haccombe, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath repair, so there is no second trip.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Landlords, agents and businesses in Haccombe
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haccombe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Do you need bath repair in Haccombe?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
Rented homes near Newton Abbot station (about 2 miles west) change hands frequently, and repairing baths between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Replacement in Haccombe means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
