Bath repair in Gunwalloe, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gunwalloe. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gunwalloe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Gunwalloe
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work in Gunwalloe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gunwalloe and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gunwalloe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Gunwalloe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
