Bath repair in Maesglas without replacing anything

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and holes from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 Maesglas

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you work in Maesglas?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Maesglas and the rest of Newport. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will the repair show?

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.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maesglas

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Maesglas. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Common problems we fix in Maesglas

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A cracked acrylic bath
