Bath chip & crack repair in Sheepwash, Devon
Problem with your bath in Sheepwash? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we handle bath repair in Sheepwash
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Sheepwash, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sheepwash as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Sheepwash
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Sheepwash
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
