Bath chip & crack repair in Ilsington, Devon

Bath repair in Ilsington, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath repair in Ilsington?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last

- What aftercare is recommended

- Whether they match the colour on site
What affects the price in Ilsington
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ilsington. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get 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.

Ilsington: your questions answered

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Repairing versus replacing in Ilsington
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ilsington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- Pressed steel enamel
