Bath repair in Trewint

How we handle bath repair in Trewint

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Trewint questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repair or replace in Trewint?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath repair in Trewint?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Common reasons people in Trewint contact us are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
