About our bath repair in West Devon
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Devon
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
West Devon questions
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you come to West Devon?
We do. We send a technician to West Devon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. 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 we agree with you.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Signs you need bath repair in West Devon
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
