Bath Repair for Caerhowel homes

- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath repair in Caerhowel without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Caerhowel
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Caerhowel, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Caerhowel
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders

- Who will actually do the work

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Caerhowel.
