What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Bridge
When to call us in Bridge
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Bridge
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
We cover the whole UK, including Bridge and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repair or replace in Bridge?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
