Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Bath repair at your home in Helston
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Helston questions
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Helston. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Signs you need bath repair in Helston
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
