What affects the price in Heol-ddu
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When to call us in Heol-ddu
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One price list for the whole UK
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Heol-ddu questions
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What else we do in Heol-ddu
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
