About bath repair in PL17
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Pricing in PL17

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Signs you need bath repair
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to PL17. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Questions from PL17
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including PL17 and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you come to PL17?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to PL17. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
