Bath Repair in Maindy
Bath repair in Maindy without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
About our bath repair in Maindy
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 day after. We’re often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Maindy. The price reflects:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we are called out for in Maindy
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Maindy: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Cardiff?
All of Cardiff, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How much does bath repair cost in Maindy?
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.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Maindy
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
