- Repairs from £95

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Veryan
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Veryan
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
