Bath repair in Maesycoed without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and holes from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Maesycoed
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Questions from Maesycoed
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you cover the entire of Rhondda Cynon Taff?
We cover the entire UK, including Maesycoed and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- 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.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maesycoed use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Signs you need bath repair in Maesycoed
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
