Bath repair at your home in Gwithian
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gwithian and across Cornwall.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

When to call us in Gwithian
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gwithian. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 next day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Gwithian and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
