Bath repair in Betws Cedewain without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Betws Cedewain questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
When to call us in Betws Cedewain
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
