How we handle bath repair in Sidmouth
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sidmouth as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Sidmouth and the surrounding area
Sidmouth is about 12 miles east of Exeter, in Devon. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Sidmouth is one of 586 towns and villages in Devon we cover.
Jobs in EX10 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You’ll find streets such as Station Road, High Street and Bedford Square, all of which we cover. Being close to the A375 and A3052, Sidmouth is easy for our technicians to reach. We also travel to Bulverton (1 mile west), Sidford (1 mile north-east), Stowford (1 mile north-west), Salcombe Regis (1 mile east) and Bowd (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cover Exeter (12 miles west), Exmouth (8 miles south-west), Teignmouth (15 miles south-west), Honiton (7 miles north), Dawlish (13 miles south-west) and St Thomas (13 miles west). Sidmouth is one of the larger places we cover in Devon.
Local landmarks in Sidmouth
We visit homes around Sidmouth Church of England (VA) Primary School, The Balfour pub and St Francis of Assisi and the streets around them. Further afield, we also cover the area around Sidmouth Hospital (0.7 miles south) and Sidmouth Toy & Model Museum (0.9 miles south). Not far away are Aylesbeare Common RSPB reserve and Peak Hill.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Sidmouth?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
What else we do in Sidmouth
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sidmouth, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sidmouth
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Sidmouth questions
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
