Trunch: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
How we handle bath repair in Trunch
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work 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.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need bath repair in Trunch
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
