Bath repair at your home in Boyton
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boyton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
When to call us in Boyton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Boyton
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
