Bath repair in West Hill, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in West Hill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we are called out for in West Hill
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Hill
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
