About our bath repair in Corntown
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What else we do in Corntown
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Corntown
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Corntown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
FAQs for Corntown
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
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.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common problems we fix in Corntown
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
