Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
About our bath repair in Gwaun Treoda
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
In a smaller place like Gwaun Treoda, homes are often houses and bungalows rather than flats, some with bathrooms that have been in for years. Bath repair keeps a sound bath in use without a refit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on. In a smaller place like Gwaun Treoda, parking is rarely a problem. If you’re down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book and we’ll plan for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Gwaun Treoda
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
Rented homes near Rhiwbina station (about 0.9 miles north) change hands often, and repairing baths between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
Before booking anyone
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
