Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How we handle bath repair in Bryn Gates
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Bryn Gates, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bryn Gates
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
FAQs for Bryn Gates
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
