About our bath repair in Trevethin
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Trevethin
- Work done at your home or business
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Trevethin questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Landlord and trade work in Trevethin
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Trevethin. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
