Bath repair in Bassaleg, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Bassaleg
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How invisible is a bath repair?
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’ll tell you what to expect.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace in Bassaleg?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
