Bath repair in St Agnes, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Agnes and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in St Agnes
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps

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, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Agnes use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can

St Agnes: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you cover St Agnes?
We do. We send a technician to St Agnes for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
