Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

About our bath repair in Brecon
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brecon
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
FAQs for Brecon
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover the entire of Powys?
Across the UK, so Brecon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Signs you need bath repair in Brecon
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
