The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Other services in Cymmer
Do you need bath repair in Cymmer?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Cymmer
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
