Bath repair in Hatherleigh without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hatherleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Hatherleigh
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Hatherleigh and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Repairing versus replacing in Hatherleigh
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Hatherleigh
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
