How we handle bath repair in Gwennap
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Gwennap?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: 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. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gwennap
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Questions from Gwennap
Do you come to Gwennap?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gwennap and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Gwennap?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gwennap. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Gwennap
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
