Bath chip & crack repair in Bron-y-waun, Bridgend
Bath repair in and around Bron-y-waun: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our bath repair in Bron-y-waun
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Bron-y-waun
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

Common questions in Bron-y-waun
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
