Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Your questions about bath repair in Manaccan
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you cover Manaccan?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Manaccan and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Common problems we fix in Manaccan
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
