Bath repair in Trinafour

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Bath repair in Trinafour, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

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

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repair or replace in Trinafour?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Trinafour

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Trinafour

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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