Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

- 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, usually the next day.
Before we arrive

Advice
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Common questions in Carharrack
Are there extra charges for Carharrack?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Carharrack and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we’re called out for in Carharrack
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
