Bath repair in Chepstow, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and snagging damage from a refit, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Chepstow
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Repair or replace in Chepstow?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Chepstow: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

What else we do in Chepstow
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
