About our bath repair in Trewen
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and a cracked acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Trewen
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Trewen?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Trewen.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Signs you need bath repair in Trewen
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace in Trewen?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
