Bath repair in Graig Penllyn without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Questions from Graig Penllyn
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Graig Penllyn
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
