Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Fixed prices from your photos

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Barry Waterfront, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about bath repair in Barry Waterfront
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Barry Waterfront.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
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.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
