About our bath repair in Dyffryn
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 next day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dyffryn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dyffryn. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Do you need bath repair in Dyffryn?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
