Bath repair in Redruth

About our bath repair in Redruth

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Redruth

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Redruth

If you manage property in Redruth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Redruth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
