Bath repair in Aberaman South without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and damage beneath the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Aberaman South
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Aberaman South
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Aberaman South.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlord and trade work in Aberaman South
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberaman South as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
