Questions from Gelligaer
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you come to Gelligaer?
We do. We send a technician to Gelligaer for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
