Coed-y-paen questions
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NP4 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Coed-y-paen.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Do you need bath repair in Coed-y-paen?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Coed-y-paen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
