How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in Honiton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Honiton
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Common questions in Honiton
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
