Repairing versus replacing in Cosmeston
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we handle bath repair in Cosmeston
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and snagging damage from a refit.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cosmeston and across the Vale of Glamorgan.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cosmeston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What else we do in Cosmeston
Cosmeston: your questions answered
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
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.
