How we handle bath repair in Mawnan
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mawnan and across Cornwall.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we are called out for in Mawnan
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Mawnan contact us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mawnan, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Mawnan
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Repairing versus replacing in Mawnan
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
If you are in Mawnan and want a price, pictures 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.

What else we do in Mawnan
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Mawnan
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
