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, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

About our bath repair in Georgetown
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cardiff.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
