Bath repair in Idole without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we’re called out for in Idole
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Idole use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Idole: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover the whole of Carmarthenshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Idole and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you cover Idole?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Idole. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Idole. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
