What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Pentewan

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need bath repair in Pentewan

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend 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, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Pentewan. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
