Bath repair for Feock homes

Bath repair in Feock without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Your questions about bath repair in Feock

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace in Feock?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Feock clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Feock

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
