Bath repair in Perranuthnoe without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Perranuthnoe
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides

Your questions about bath repair in Perranuthnoe
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work in Perranuthnoe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Perranuthnoe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Perranuthnoe
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
