How we handle bath repair in Gwystre
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gwystre and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Advice
Gwystre: your questions answered
Do you cover Gwystre?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gwystre and the rest of Powys. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How much does bath repair cost in Gwystre?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath repair in Gwystre?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit

- Something in shot to show the size

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
