How we handle bath repair in Tre-Derwen
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repair or replace in Tre-Derwen?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tre-Derwen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Tre-Derwen
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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.
