Bath repair at your home in Castle
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We’re frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Castle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos 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.
Common problems we fix in Castle
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Questions from Castle
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cardiff.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Castle?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What we do, step by step

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
