How we handle bath repair in Bryn
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.

What affects the price in Bryn
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Signs you need bath repair in Bryn
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Bryn contact us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole

- Who will actually do the work
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Common questions in Bryn
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix 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.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Bryn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
