Bath repair in Trinity without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do you need bath repair in Trinity?
Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
