How we handle bath repair in Kenwyn
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kenwyn and across Cornwall.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Kenwyn
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Kenwyn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kenwyn. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Kenwyn
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for these signs:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
