Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath repair in Trewennack without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Trewennack questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Trewennack?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Trewennack for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Trewennack
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Do you need bath repair in Trewennack?
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
