Bath repair at your home in Argoed
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
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.
Signs you need bath repair in Argoed
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking

- What aftercare is recommended
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Argoed
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover Argoed?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Argoed. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Argoed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
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)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Argoed as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
