Bath repair at your home in Ilfracombe
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ilfracombe as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need bath repair in Ilfracombe
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Ilfracombe contact us are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Ilfracombe: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What your bath is made of matters
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. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ilfracombe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
