Bath repair in Hatt, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Hatt: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover Hatt?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hatt from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hatt as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace in Hatt?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hatt. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Covering Hatt
Hatt is about 2 miles north-west of Saltash, in Cornwall. Anywhere in PL12, a technician comes to you. Hatt is one of 644 towns and villages in Cornwall we cover.
Here we cover the PL12 postcode area. Local streets include Vollards Lane, Stuarts Way and Sunnybanks, and we cover them all. If you are just outside Hatt, we cover Carkeel (1 mile south-east), Trematon (1 mile south), Landrake (2 miles south-west), Burraton Coombe (2 miles south-east) and Burraton (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Stonehouse (6 miles south-east), Liskeard (9 miles west), Launceston (14 miles north), Addington (9 miles west), Looe (10 miles south-west) and Torpoint (5 miles south-east).
Near you in Hatt
We visit homes around Holland Inn and Church of St Mary, among other places. The nearest railway station is Saltash station, roughly 3 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Plymouth General Hospital (5.4 miles south-east) and Elliott's Shop (3 miles south-east).
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What else we do in Hatt
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
