How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair in Cwm-y-glo, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cwm-y-glo. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we are called out for in Cwm-y-glo
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
