Landlords, agents and businesses in Trowbridge
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
Bath repair at your home in Trowbridge
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Trowbridge and across Cardiff.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Common problems we fix in Trowbridge
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side

Trowbridge: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Trowbridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Trowbridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
