About our bath repair in Talaton
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Talaton and across Devon.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
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 will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Talaton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Your questions about bath repair in Talaton
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
