About our bath repair in Tregurrian
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we’re called out for in Tregurrian
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tregurrian, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
