Bath repair at your home in Gwinear Downs
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and rust by the waste and overflow, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Older homes around Gwinear Downs may have baths that have been in place for decades. A sound older bath is well worth repairing without disturbing the rest of the room.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Gwinear Downs
Will you travel to Gwinear Downs?
Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you repair baths in a rental near Hayle station?
Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is normally quicker than replacing.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Gwinear Downs?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gwinear Downs and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there. In a village or hamlet like Gwinear Downs, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the bath repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. For a rural home like those around Gwinear Downs, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while bath repair is one trip.
Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Gwinear Downs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
