About our bath repair in Hendreforgan
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t 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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rhondda Cynon Taff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Hendreforgan
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Hendreforgan
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
