Bath chip & crack repair in Lanescot, Cornwall
We travel to Lanescot for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
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.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair at your home in Lanescot
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lanescot and across Cornwall.

What we are called out for in Lanescot
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lanescot
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
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. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Lanescot: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does bath repair cost in Lanescot?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Lanescot
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lanescot. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Lanescot, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
