Bath Repair for Carnon Downs homes
Our technicians come to Carnon Downs for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath repair in Carnon Downs, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and cracks in an acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Carnon Downs
Do you cover Carnon Downs?
We do. We send a technician to Carnon Downs for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
We cover the entire UK, including Carnon Downs and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Carnon Downs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Carnon Downs
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
