Our bath repair service in Cornwall

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and snagging damage from a refit.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

What it costs in Cornwall

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Around Truro

Typical jobs here are in homes near County Museum And Library (Royal Institution Of Cornwall), Penair School and St George the Martyr, among other places. You’ll also find Church of St Mary Clement (under half a mile north-east), Bosvigo School (less than half a mile south-west), Victoria Gardens (under half a mile north-west) and The Globe Public House (within half a mile east). Truro has its own railway station: Truro station. Nearby you will also find County Museum And Library (Royal Institution Of Cornwall) (under half a mile east) and Royal Cornwall Infirmary (0.5 miles south). Not far away are Daubuz Moors.

Parks and local facilities nearby include Carrick (under half a mile east)

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place.

What your quote should include

Who will actually do the work
What aftercare is recommended
Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What affects the price in Cornwall

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

The size and number of damaged areas
How many items we do on one visit
The material
The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

A wider photo showing the whole bath
Something in shot to show the size
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Cornwall: your questions answered

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
