FAQs for St Giles on the Heath
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for bath repair in St Giles on the Heath?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Giles on the Heath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
