About our bath repair in Kenn
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 repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kenn and across Devon.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kenn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Do you need bath repair in Kenn?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Common reasons people in Kenn contact us are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kenn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
