Bath repair at your home in Bodiniel
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
When to call us in Bodiniel
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Common questions in Bodiniel
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
