Bath chip & crack repair in Coytrahen, Bridgend
Damaged bath in Coytrahen? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath repair in Coytrahen
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Coytrahen?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about bath repair in Coytrahen
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Bridgend, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
