Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Ludgvan, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Ludgvan questions
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Ludgvan
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Ludgvan contact us are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
