Bath repair at your home in Hayes Gate
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Hayes Gate
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hayes Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Monmouthshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Hayes Gate
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
