Local bath repair for Cae-draw: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cae-draw. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cae-draw, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Cae-draw
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
