Bath chip & crack repair in Maidencombe, Torbay
We travel to Maidencombe for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath repair at your home in Maidencombe
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, 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 photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Maidencombe
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Signs you need bath repair in Maidencombe
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Maidencombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
