Bath repair at your home in St Merryn
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and holes from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Different materials, different repairs
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
When to call us in St Merryn
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repairing versus replacing in St Merryn
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- Most jobs done in one visit

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for St Merryn. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from St Merryn
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in St Merryn

For anyone letting property in or around St Merryn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in St Merryn, and we will reply with a fixed price.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
