What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Ponsanooth

How much does bath repair cost in Ponsanooth?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
