What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Pensilva
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Pensilva, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
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 the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When to call us in Pensilva
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
