We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Foundry Town and across Rhondda Cynon Taff.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Foundry Town. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Foundry Town
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Foundry Town
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
