Bath chip & crack repair in Loddiswell, Devon
Problem with your bath in Loddiswell? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
About our bath repair in Loddiswell
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
