How we handle bath repair in Sidbury
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Do you need bath repair in Sidbury?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side

FAQs for Sidbury
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Sidbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sidbury and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Sidbury and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
