Bath repair at your home in Cefn Hengoed
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Cefn Hengoed
Most bath damage comes from something 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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Typically one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Cefn Hengoed
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
