Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Bath repair at your home in Treowen
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Treowen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Treowen
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Treowen use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
