How bath repair works in the Vale of Glamorgan

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.

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.

Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Pricing in the Vale of Glamorgan

Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in the Vale of Glamorgan

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

How easy the damage is to reach
The material
What kind of damage it is
Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs 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 you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

A clear, close picture of the problem area
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in the Vale of Glamorgan

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Chips on the rim or sides
Holes from dropped items

the Vale of Glamorgan: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
