How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Your questions about bath repair in Foelgastell
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Foelgastell

When to call us in Foelgastell
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
