Hugh Town and the surrounding area

Hugh Town is about 37 miles west of Penzance, in the Isles of Scilly. Our technicians come to customers in Hugh Town and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. Hugh Town is one of 13 towns and villages in the Isles of Scilly where we work.

All of TR21 is covered. Whether you live on Church Road, Well Cross and Back Lane or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Hugh Town is on the A3111 and A3112, which makes it straightforward to reach. Nearby, we also work in Old Town (1 mile east), Porthloo (1 mile north), Telegraph (1 mile north-east), Maypole (1 mile north-east) and Holy Vale (1 mile north-east). For island and remote addresses, ring us first and we will plan the trip.

In Hugh Town, that means homes near The Bishop And Wolf Public House and Church of St Mary (Methodist), among other places. Nearby you’ll also find St Mary's Hospital (less than half a mile south-east) and Ennor Castle (0.6 miles east). The countryside around Hugh Town includes Mount Todden and Abbey Pool.

Bath repair in Hugh Town without replacing anything

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic

Hugh Town: your questions answered

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Hugh Town and the rest of the Isles of Scilly. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hugh Town, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Hugh Town

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
