About our bath repair in Cwmcelyn
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Homes around Cwmcelyn range from cottages to newer houses. Older ones may still have cast iron or steel baths, which are well worth keeping, and newer ones generally have acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What else we do in Cwmcelyn
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What affects the price in Cwmcelyn
Repairs from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. 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. In a smaller place like Cwmcelyn, parking is rarely a problem. If you are down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book and we will plan for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes cost nothing and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Cwmcelyn
Can you repair baths in a rental near Ebbw Vale Parkway station?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Cwmcelyn?
Generally, yes. Older baths are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Cwmcelyn?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. In a smaller place like Cwmcelyn, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair needs just one visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 the part we put right.
