Bath repair in Camborne without replacing anything
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
For a price in Camborne, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.

Camborne questions
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR14 postcode.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
About Camborne
Camborne is in Cornwall. Clients in Camborne get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from photos, and a technician at your door on the day. Camborne is one of 644 towns and villages in Cornwall where we work.
We cover every part of the TR14 postcode area and the streets around it. From Church Road, Adelaide Street and North Road or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Camborne is on the A3047 and B3303, so it’s easy for us to reach.

What affects the price in Camborne
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Camborne. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Camborne
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
