About our bath repair in Manafon
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Repair or replace in Manafon?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

FAQs for Manafon
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much does bath repair cost in Manafon?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Related advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
