Clients normally contact us about:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps

Bath repair in Faenor, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rusty patches near the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Faenor. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Your questions about bath repair in Faenor
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Faenor and the rest of Ceredigion. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
