Trefil questions
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Trefil?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Trefil?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How we handle bath repair in Trefil
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

What we’re called out for in Trefil
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
