Trewollock: your questions answered

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Trewollock. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Common problems we fix in Trewollock

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
