How we handle bath repair in Tregorrick
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tregorrick and across Cornwall.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tregorrick. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Tregorrick questions
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.
Do you cover Tregorrick?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tregorrick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Common problems we fix in Tregorrick
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace in Tregorrick?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
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 we will come back with a fixed figure.
