About our bath repair in Polbathic
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips under the taps.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Polbathic and across Cornwall.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Polbathic. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
