Bath repair in St Columb Major, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We’re frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in St Columb Major?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Your questions about bath repair in St Columb Major
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How do I get a price for bath repair in St Columb Major?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR9 postcode.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Columb Major
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
