About our bath repair in Trecastle
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. 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 it’s worth getting them done early.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through

Landlord and trade work in Trecastle
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Powys and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Trecastle
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Trecastle
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Trecastle?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What we’re called out for in Trecastle
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
