Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. 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.

Bath repair in Mawgan without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mawgan and across Cornwall.

Questions from Mawgan

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What we’re called out for in Mawgan

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mawgan. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
