Bath repair in East Trewent without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Every job is backed for twelve months in East Trewent and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Repair or replace in East Trewent?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East Trewent. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we are called out for in East Trewent
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to care for the finish
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Landlord and trade work in East Trewent
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
