Bath repair at your home in Cwm-y-glo
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. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cwm-y-glo and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath repair in Cwm-y-glo?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Your questions about bath repair in Cwm-y-glo
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repairing versus replacing in Cwm-y-glo
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 normally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Cwm-y-glo
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
