Bath repair in Trefechan, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Trefechan and across Ceredigion.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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 is what we repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Trefechan
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Trefechan
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Trefechan. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Trefechan
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Common problems we fix in Trefechan
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
