Your questions about bath repair in Cwm-cou
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Bath repair at your home in Cwm-cou
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Cwm-cou
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Cwm-cou contact us are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Cwm-cou, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
