Bath Repair for Hendy homes
Damaged bath in Hendy? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure 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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

Hendy questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you cover Hendy?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hendy from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Hendy?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
