What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s 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

Common questions in Whiddon Down
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work in Whiddon Down?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Whiddon Down and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What affects the price in Whiddon Down
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
