Bath repair in Cilgerran, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What affects the price in Cilgerran
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Cilgerran
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Cilgerran contact us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Cilgerran: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Ceredigion, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Cilgerran
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Cilgerran
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Cilgerran, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
