What affects the price in Cwm
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Cwm
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When to call us in Cwm
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cwm. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
