Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
How we handle bath repair in Sithney Common
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Sithney Common
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common problems we fix in Sithney Common
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
