Bath repair in Laity Moor without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Laity Moor

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Laity Moor questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
