Bath repair in Merrymeet without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merrymeet as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Merrymeet
Rust normally 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 things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in Merrymeet
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you come to Merrymeet?
We do. Technicians travel to Merrymeet from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Merrymeet?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PL14 postcode.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What else we do in Merrymeet
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
