About our bath repair in Trefnant
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
FAQs for Trefnant
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Trefnant. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover Trefnant?
We do. We send a technician to Trefnant for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
