How we handle bath repair in Treen
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
In a village like Treen, some baths have been in for many years. If the bath is sound, bath repair gives it a new lease of life.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Signs you need bath repair in Treen
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
For older houses around Treen, near landmarks such as St Levan's Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath repair gives it years more use.

Common questions in Treen
Is it worth repairing old baths in a period home in Treen?
Often, yes: original pieces are normally worth keeping. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Will you travel to Treen?
Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Repairing versus replacing in Treen
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. In an older home in a village like Treen, replacing a bath can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlord and trade work in Treen
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
