Bath repair in Trinant

Bath repair in Trinant without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Signs you need bath repair in Trinant

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Trinant

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Trinant is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace in Trinant?

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 a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Trinant clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

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.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
