Bath repair in Cwmfelinfach without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cwmfelinfach. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we’re called out for in Cwmfelinfach
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

FAQs for Cwmfelinfach
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Cwmfelinfach.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Cwmfelinfach, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
