The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cefn Cribwr. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we are called out for in Cefn Cribwr
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Cefn Cribwr questions
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is repairing better 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.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace in Cefn Cribwr?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
