Bath Repair for Illogan homes
We travel to Illogan for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
About our bath repair in Illogan
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 regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Illogan
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Common questions in Illogan
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Illogan as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically 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.
Common problems we fix in Illogan
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
