Bath repair at your home in Glasbury
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Your questions about bath repair in Glasbury
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Common problems we fix in Glasbury

Our work in Glasbury

We cover every part of the HR3 postcode area. Jobs here include addresses on Dan-y-Bryn and Brookside Glanrhyd. Neighbouring places we cover include Felindre (2 miles south), Gwernyfed (2 miles south-east), Llanigon (2 miles east), Hay (3 miles north-east) and Clyro (4 miles north-east).

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HR3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
