Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
About our bath repair in Gwaelod-y-garth
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and rust spots around the plughole.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Gwaelod-y-garth
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Repair or replace in Gwaelod-y-garth?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
