- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What else we do in Trelewis
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When to call us in Trelewis
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trelewis
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Trelewis questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Trelewis?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Trelewis?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Trelewis from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
