Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for St Blazey
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are there extra charges for St Blazey?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath repair in St Blazey?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Blazey
If you manage property in St Blazey, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
