Bath repair in Wembury without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Wembury
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Wembury: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What affects the price in Wembury
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes

- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
