Questions from Quintrell Downs
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Quintrell Downs. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Signs you need bath repair in Quintrell Downs
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Repairing versus replacing in Quintrell Downs
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
