About our bath repair in Gilwern
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common questions in Gilwern
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Gilwern, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilwern as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Monmouthshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Gilwern
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
