Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How we handle bath repair in Cefn Glas
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cefn Glas and across Bridgend.

What we’re called out for in Cefn Glas
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for these signs:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Cefn Glas
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cefn Glas
For anyone letting property in or around Cefn Glas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
