How we handle bath repair in Tolgullow
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Tolgullow
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover Tolgullow?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tolgullow and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
There’s 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 will reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Tolgullow
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tolgullow
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tolgullow as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
