Bath repair in Cae-mawr without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Repair or replace in Cae-mawr?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
