About our bath repair in Glandwr
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Glandwr as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Glandwr, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Glandwr
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote

Repair or replace in Glandwr?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Glandwr
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
