- Damage beneath the taps
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 repair chips early.
Bath repair in Croes-lan, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Croes-lan
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Croes-lan.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
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.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Landlord and trade work in Croes-lan
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Ceredigion and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
