How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair at your home in Godolphin Cross
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

FAQs for Godolphin Cross
Will I be able to see the repair?
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.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Do you need bath repair in Godolphin Cross?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
