Bath Repair for Penzance homes
Bath repair in and around Penzance: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Penzance questions
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penzance
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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before you book

Common problems we fix in Penzance
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
