How we handle bath repair in Trinity
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Trinity
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
FAQs for Trinity
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH5 postcode.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
