How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Abertillery. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bath repair in Abertillery 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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Abertillery
Landlord and trade work in Abertillery
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Do not 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Abertillery: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around 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 will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
