Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Bath repair in Cadgwith without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

FAQs for Cadgwith
What areas do you cover?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Cadgwith?
We do. Technicians travel to Cadgwith from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Are there extra charges for Cadgwith?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What else we do in Cadgwith
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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
