About our bath repair in St Ann's Chapel
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. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in St Ann's Chapel
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Landlord and trade work in St Ann's Chapel

Your questions about bath repair in St Ann's Chapel
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
