Bath chip & crack repair in Bethel, Cornwall
Bath repair for Bethel, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath repair at your home in Bethel
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in Bethel
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bethel use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Repairing versus replacing in Bethel
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
