About our bath repair in Gorran Haven
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Gorran Haven
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlord and trade work in Gorran Haven
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
