How we handle bath repair in Tregavarras
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tregavarras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Tregavarras questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
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
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Tregavarras
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tregavarras. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
