Bath Repair in Fraddon
Our repair technicians come to Fraddon for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Bath repair at your home in Fraddon
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairing versus replacing in Fraddon
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything

When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Fraddon: your questions answered
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you work in Fraddon?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fraddon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fraddon as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Fraddon
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Signs you need bath repair in Fraddon
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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
