Bath repair in Trevanson without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Trevanson

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Trevanson. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Signs you need bath repair in Trevanson

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price
