How we handle bath repair in Hafod
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in Hafod
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Hafod
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Hafod: your questions answered
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
