Bath chip & crack repair in Castleton, Cardiff
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Castleton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Castleton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cardiff, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace in Castleton?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need bath repair in Castleton?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Castleton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
