Bath repair in St Mawes without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in St Mawes and across Cornwall.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to St Mawes. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from St Mawes
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you work in St Mawes?
We do. Technicians travel to St Mawes from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Repairing versus replacing in St Mawes
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we are called out for in St Mawes
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
