Bath repair in Caerhendy without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and holes from dropped items, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about bath repair in Caerhendy
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.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Caerhendy. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
When to call us in Caerhendy
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
