Bath repair across EX12: what to expect

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath repair

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through

EX12 questions

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including EX12 and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
