About our bath repair in Creigiau
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Creigiau?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site

Repair or replace in Creigiau?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Creigiau questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Creigiau and the rest of Cardiff. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Creigiau?
We do. We send a technician to Creigiau for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
