Bath chip & crack repair in Tregurtha Downs, Cornwall
Bath repair across Tregurtha Downs and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

About our bath repair in Tregurtha Downs
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we’re called out for in Tregurtha Downs
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
