About our bath repair in Trevadlock

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need bath repair in Trevadlock

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Trevadlock questions

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PL15 postcode.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trevadlock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
