Bath chip & crack repair in Aberporth, Ceredigion

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Bath repair in Aberporth, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

FAQs for Aberporth
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does bath repair cost in Aberporth?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Do you need bath repair in Aberporth?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
