About our bath repair in Helstone
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Do you need bath repair in Helstone?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Helstone get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
If you are in Helstone and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Your questions about bath repair in Helstone
How do I get a price for bath repair in Helstone?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Helstone and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
