Bath chip & crack repair in Perranarworthal, Cornwall
Problem with your bath in Perranarworthal? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
About our bath repair in Perranarworthal
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Perranarworthal: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
