Our bath repair service in PL28
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
What it costs in PL28
Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What’s near Padstow
Our clients here include homes close to The London Inn, Church of St Petroc and Padstow School and the streets around them. Further afield, we also cover the area around Shipwreck Museum (under half a mile north-east) and Doyden Castle (4.6 miles north-east). Not far away are Brea Hill.
Repair or replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we are called out for in PL28
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to PL28. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for PL28. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
