- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we handle bath repair in Gwern Estyn
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Gwern Estyn
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Common problems we fix in Gwern Estyn
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day

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, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
