Bath repair in Flexbury without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and chips under the taps, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common problems we fix in Flexbury
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Flexbury
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in Flexbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Flexbury questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Flexbury included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
