Bath chip & crack repair in Coombe, Cornwall
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Coombe, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Bath repair in Coombe, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and holes from dropped items, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need bath repair in Coombe?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Questions from Coombe
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coombe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Coombe
- Roll-top & freestanding

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
