A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Altarnun: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Most clients in Altarnun get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What affects the price in Altarnun
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
