What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Bath repair at your home in Cefneithin
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When to call us in Cefneithin
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Do I need to be at home?

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
