Bath repair for Treverbyn homes

How we handle bath repair in Treverbyn

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we price bath repair

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

Signs you need bath repair in Treverbyn

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Treverbyn: your questions answered

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
