About our bath repair in Otterton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Otterton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Signs you need bath repair in Otterton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairing versus replacing in Otterton
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
