Bath repair at your home in Efail Isaf
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Your questions about bath repair in Efail Isaf
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Signs you need bath repair in Efail Isaf
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Efail Isaf get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Efail Isaf
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
