Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair at your home in Inner Hope
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
In a village or hamlet like Inner Hope, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead. Somewhere like Inner Hope needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath repair, so there is no second trip.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Repair or replace in Inner Hope?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Replacement in Inner Hope means trades, travel and waste removal, while bath repair is one trip.
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Fixed quotes from pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Take a look at our Prices page And Resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath repair in Inner Hope?
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
For older houses around Inner Hope, near landmarks such as St Clement, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath repair gives it years more use.

Common questions in Inner Hope
Is it worth repairing old baths in a period home in Inner Hope?
Normally: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.
Do you come out to small places like Inner Hope?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, at no extra charge.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Inner Hope. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
