Bath repair in Maen-y-groes, done in place
You don’t 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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and a chip where the taps sit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. 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
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
FAQs for Maen-y-groes
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Maen-y-groes, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
