Bath repair at your home in Felindre
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Felindre
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairing versus replacing in Felindre
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Felindre. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
