Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs

Bath repair in Cyfarthfa without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we’re called out for in Cyfarthfa
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cyfarthfa. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Cyfarthfa
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the whole of Merthyr Tydfil?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
