- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle bath repair in Aberthin
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Aberthin. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Repair or replace in Aberthin?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Aberthin
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
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.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
