Bath repair in Maerdy without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Repair or replace in Maerdy?
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 whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Maerdy
How much does bath repair cost in Maerdy?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
