Bath repair for Trevarren homes

Aftercare tips

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

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

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

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How we handle bath repair in Trevarren

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Repairing versus replacing in Trevarren

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Trevarren: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

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.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Trevarren

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

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

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
