Landlord and trade work in Cwmfelin
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bridgend and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle bath repair in Cwmfelin
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Cwmfelin
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Cwmfelin: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Cwmfelin
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
