Bath repair in Telegraph without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and chips caused by builders.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Telegraph
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Telegraph and the rest of the Isles of Scilly. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Telegraph
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
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 reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we’re called out for in Telegraph
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

- Who will actually do the work
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Telegraph and the surrounding area
Telegraph is about 36 miles west of Penzance, in the Isles of Scilly. Anywhere in TR21, we carry out the work at your property. Our technicians cover all 13 towns and villages in the Isles of Scilly.
Our visits in TR21 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You’ll find streets such as Town Lane, Decca Lane and Pungies Lane, all of which we cover. We also cover the places around Telegraph: Trenoweth (1 mile north-east), Porthloo (1 mile south-west), Maypole (1 mile east), Pelistry (1 mile east) and Holy Vale (1 mile south-east). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so call us to arrange it.

We visit homes around St Mary's Church and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Longstone Heritage Centre (0.6 miles south) and St Mary's Hospital (1.1 miles south). Open spaces near Telegraph include Mount Todden and Abbey Pool.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Telegraph, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
