How we handle bath repair in Penhale
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Penhale
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Penhale, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Penhale
Are there extra charges for Penhale?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Penhale?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Penhale
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Repairing versus replacing in Penhale
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Penhale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
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.
