Common problems we fix in Maenporth
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

What else we do in Maenporth
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Maenporth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
What affects the price in Maenporth
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Maenporth and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Maenporth
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
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.
