Bath repair at your home in Carlyon Bay
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carlyon Bay as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Landlord and trade work in Carlyon Bay
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Your questions about bath repair in Carlyon Bay
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.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Carlyon Bay and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Carlyon Bay
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
