About bath repair in TR13
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps.
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Landmarks near Helston
Around Helston, we work in homes near Red Lion Public House, Church of St Michael and Helston Community College, among other places. Further afield, we also cover the area around Helston Castle (less than half a mile south-west) and National Museum Of Gardening (2.6 miles north-west). Not far away are Tregonning Hill and The Loe.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in TR13 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we’re called out for in TR13
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
TR13 questions
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in TR13.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including TR13 and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
How much does bath repair cost in TR13?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
