Stowford and the surrounding area
Stowford is about 1 mile north-west of Sidmouth, in Devon. Whether you are in the middle of Stowford or on the outskirts, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Stowford is one of 586 towns and villages in Devon we cover.
Our visits in EX10 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you’re just outside Stowford, we cover Bowd (1 mile north-west), Sidford (1 mile east), Harpford (1 mile west), Tipton St John (2 miles north-west) and Sidbury (2 miles north-east).

What’s near Stowford
In Stowford, that means homes near St Francis of Assisi, Sidmouth College and The Balfour pub, among other places. Further afield, we also cover the area around Sidmouth Hospital (1.5 miles south-east) and Sidmouth Toy & Model Museum (1.7 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Aylesbeare Common RSPB reserve and Peak Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Stowford
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Do you need bath repair in Stowford?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
