Bath repair at your home in Bigyn
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bigyn and across Carmarthenshire.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we are called out for in Bigyn
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Bigyn questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
