About our bath repair in Trematon
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
For a price in Trematon, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Trematon
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Trematon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Trematon questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
