About our bath repair in Cefn
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Cefn
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover the entire of Powys?
Across the UK, so Cefn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Cefn?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Cefn
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Cefn
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cefn use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Cefn?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
