Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bossiney
For anyone letting property in or around Bossiney, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace in Bossiney?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath repair in Bossiney
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Bossiney included. Travel is included in the price.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Bossiney.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
