Bath repair in Tregrehan Mills, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

What affects the price in Tregrehan Mills

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Tregrehan Mills

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Do you need bath repair in Tregrehan Mills?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Holes from dropped items

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
