Signs you need bath repair in Trethewey
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Trethewey questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you cover Trethewey?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Trethewey and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
