Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

About our bath repair in St Columb Road
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What else we do in St Columb Road
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Signs you need bath repair in St Columb Road
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote

- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
