Bath Repair for Launceston homes
Local bath repair for Launceston: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
About our bath repair in Launceston
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What else we do in Launceston
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What affects the price in Launceston
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Launceston questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Launceston and nearby
Launceston is about 20 miles north-west of Plymouth, in Cornwall. Clients in Launceston get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from photos, then a visit to do the work. We work in 644 places in Cornwall.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
