How we handle bath repair in Crumplehorn
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. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What we cannot put right

- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crumplehorn
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crumplehorn use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
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.
Crumplehorn: your questions answered
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do you come to Crumplehorn?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Crumplehorn and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What affects the price in Crumplehorn
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Crumplehorn. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Crumplehorn, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crumplehorn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Crumplehorn customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the entire UK
