Questions from Holmbush
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Holmbush?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Repair or replace in Holmbush?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
