How we handle bath repair in Trelissick
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlord and trade work in Trelissick
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What we’re called out for in Trelissick
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
