- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair in Gweek without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gweek use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Gweek
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gweek. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
