How we handle bath repair in Trewern
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Trewern?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Trewern, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Trewern
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically 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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
