Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Common questions in Cwm
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Cwm?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Other services in Cwm
Signs you need bath repair in Cwm
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 usually the cheaper route.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cwm. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cwm. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
