Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair at your home in Argoed
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Argoed. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repair or replace in Argoed?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Argoed
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Argoed. Prices do not change with location.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Argoed?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for any of the following:
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
