What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Galon Uchaf. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CF47 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Galon Uchaf
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Galon Uchaf?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CF47 postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Galon Uchaf?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.

- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
