How we handle bath repair in Trethurgy
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Trethurgy
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we are called out for in Trethurgy
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items

What affects the price in Trethurgy
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairing versus replacing in Trethurgy
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
