How we handle bath repair in Derwen
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Derwen: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What else we do in Derwen
Do you need bath repair in Derwen?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Derwen
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
