Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath repair at your home in Canton
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Canton?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Where we work around Canton
Canton is about 2 miles south-west of Cardiff, in Cardiff. We travel to homes and businesses in Canton and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Our technicians cover all 91 towns and villages across Cardiff, from the larger towns to small villages.
Every address in CF11 and CF5 is within our area. You will find streets such as Gray Lane, Beda Road and Moors Lane. Main roads around Canton include the A4232, which makes travel easy. We also cover the places around Canton: Victoria Park (1 mile north-west), Pwll-coch (1 mile north-west), Pontcanna (1 mile north-east), Llandaff (1 mile north) and Leckwith (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Penylan (3 miles north-east), St Mellons (6 miles north-east), Llanrumney (5 miles north-east), Morristown (3 miles south), Birchgrove (3 miles north) and Rhiwbina (3 miles north).
Local landmarks in Canton
We visit homes around Sanatorium Park, Lansdowne Primary School and Fitzalan High School. Other local landmarks include Centre for Occupational and Health Psychology (1.4 miles north-east), St John's Church (within half a mile south) and The Lansdowne Hotel (less than half a mile east). There is a railway station in Canton itself: Ninian Park station. Well-known places in the area include Museum of Welsh Cricket (0.9 miles north-east) and Castle Arcade (1.3 miles east). Not far away are Glamorgan Canal / Long Wood and T. G. Tibbetts.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and 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.
Canton questions
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Canton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Canton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Canton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Canton
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise 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.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
