Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rhondda Cynon Taff.

Why repair rather than replace?
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 a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Signs you need bath repair in Hopkinstown
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

- Snagging damage from a refit

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hopkinstown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.

Advice
Hopkinstown questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
