Bath Repair in Borth
Fixed-price bath repair in Borth and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath repair at your home in Borth
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Borth
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Borth
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Borth: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
