Bath chip & crack repair in Dolau, Rhondda Cynon Taff
Local bath repair for Dolau: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Your questions about bath repair in Dolau
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How much does bath repair cost in Dolau?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

The process

- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Dolau?
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dolau. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dolau
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dolau as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
