Bath chip & crack repair in Humber, Devon
Fixed-price bath repair in Humber and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How we handle bath repair in Humber
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Humber and across Devon.

When to call us in Humber
Rust normally 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 things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel

Humber questions
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Humber?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
