Bath chip & crack repair in Portwrinkle, Cornwall
We travel to Portwrinkle for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
About our bath repair in Portwrinkle
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 normally use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Portwrinkle and across Cornwall.

Landlord and trade work in Portwrinkle
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Generally, 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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Portwrinkle
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Portwrinkle
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Portwrinkle
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
