About our bath repair in Trenoweth

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. We are frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Trenoweth

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Trenoweth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Trenoweth get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trenoweth

If you manage property in Trenoweth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Trenoweth

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about bath repair in Trenoweth

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are there extra charges for Trenoweth?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Trenoweth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Trenoweth and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What we’re called out for in Trenoweth

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
