- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Bath repair in Tresavean without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

What else we do in Tresavean
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tresavean. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
If you are in Tresavean and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Tresavean: your questions answered
Do you work in Tresavean?
We do. Technicians travel to Tresavean from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Tresavean included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Tresavean
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
