FAQs for Hendra
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How much does bath repair cost in Hendra?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR13 postcode.
Do you work in Hendra?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hendra and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Hendra, pictures 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.
Repair or replace in Hendra?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hendra use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
