About our bath repair in Wheal Rose
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Signs you need bath repair in Wheal Rose
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
