About our bath repair in Capel Seion
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, 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.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What affects the price in Capel Seion
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Capel Seion. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures 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.
What we’re called out for in Capel Seion
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
