Bath chip & crack repair in Monkscross, Cornwall
Damaged bath in Monkscross? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Bath repair at your home in Monkscross
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Monkscross as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Your questions about bath repair in Monkscross
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkscross
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Monkscross
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Monkscross. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise 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.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
