About our bath repair in Trebilcock
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and damage beneath the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trebilcock
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When to call us in Trebilcock
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Trebilcock
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Trebilcock: your questions answered
Is repairing better 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 match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
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 without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Other services in Trebilcock
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trebilcock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Trebilcock, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
