Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Celynnen. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
If you are in Celynnen and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Celynnen
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Celynnen use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Why repair rather than replace?
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’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Celynnen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Celynnen
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business

Celynnen: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you cover Celynnen?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Celynnen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Celynnen
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
