Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How we handle bath repair in Bronwydd
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about bath repair in Bronwydd
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
