About our bath repair in Carbis Bay
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and chips under the taps, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Carbis Bay
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
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.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
We work UK-wide, so Carbis Bay is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath repair in Carbis Bay
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
