Bath repair at your home in Tregew
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. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Do you need bath repair in Tregew?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
FAQs for Tregew
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What affects the price in Tregew
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
