Bath repair at your home in Aberystwyth
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aberystwyth and across Ceredigion.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When to call us in Aberystwyth
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
FAQs for Aberystwyth
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you cover Aberystwyth?
We do. We send a technician to Aberystwyth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
