Common problems we fix in Sampford Peverell
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
How we handle bath repair in Sampford Peverell
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s 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. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and cracks in an acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Sampford Peverell: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you come to Sampford Peverell?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sampford Peverell and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
