How we handle bath repair in Treswithian
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and holes from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Signs you need bath repair in Treswithian
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
FAQs for Treswithian
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover Treswithian?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Treswithian for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Treswithian
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
