Questions from Stenalees
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work in Stenalees?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stenalees and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Bath repair in Stenalees without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: 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.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
When to call us in Stenalees
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
