Bath Repair in Gwrhay
Damaged bath in Gwrhay? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How we handle bath repair in Gwrhay
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and chips caused by builders.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Gwrhay
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Gwrhay?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Repairing versus replacing in Gwrhay
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Gwrhay
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Gwrhay and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
When to call us in Gwrhay
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 steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
