About bath repair in TR2

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Local landmarks in St Mawes

Around St Mawes, we work in homes near Rising Sun pub, St Mawes' Church and St Mawes School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Falmouth Docks station, about 1.9 miles west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find St Mawes Castle (0.5 miles south-west) and Falmouth Community Hospital (3.2 miles west).

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Repairs by material

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 early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in TR2

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in TR2

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from TR2

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for bath repair in TR2?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
