Bath repair in and around Grangetown: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Everything repaired in place

How we handle bath repair in Grangetown
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Grangetown, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Do you need bath repair in Grangetown?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry

Grangetown: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Grangetown?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Grangetown.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
