Common questions in Botternell
Do you come out to small places like Botternell?
We do: Botternell is covered like any town. Tell us if access is tricky.
Do you cover Botternell?
We do. We send a technician to Botternell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Bath repair at your home in Botternell
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and rust spots around the plughole.
In a village like Botternell, some baths have been in for many years. A sound older bath is well worth repairing.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Botternell and across Cornwall.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 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 generally the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Replacement in Botternell means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Botternell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
