Bath Repair for Marhamchurch homes
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Marhamchurch, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath repair in Marhamchurch
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. 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.

What we’re called out for in Marhamchurch
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairing versus replacing in Marhamchurch
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Marhamchurch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us

- Everything repaired in place

Marhamchurch questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
We cover the whole UK, including Marhamchurch and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
