Bath repair across PL34: what to expect
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for PL34. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Local landmarks in Tintagel
Typical jobs here are in homes near St Paul's Church and Tintagel Primary School. Further afield, we also cover the area around Tintagel Castle (0.6 miles north-west) and Museum of Witchcraft and Magic (3.1 miles north-east). Not far away are Condolden.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to PL34. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Look after 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. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in PL34 use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the damage happens
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in PL34
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, PL34 included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
