Bath repair at your home in Gilfach Goch
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath repair in Gilfach Goch
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Gilfach Goch included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are there extra charges for Gilfach Goch?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you come to Gilfach Goch?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gilfach Goch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
