How we handle bath repair in Cwmtillery
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common questions in Cwmtillery
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Cwmtillery, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Cwmtillery
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
