FAQs for Helford Passage
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Helford Passage
For anyone letting property in or around Helford Passage, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Helford Passage?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Helford Passage
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
