Common questions in Bosleake
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start 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 material
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bosleake. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Bosleake
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price

- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bosleake
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
