Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Manordeilo and Salem. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Manordeilo and Salem
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Manordeilo and Salem: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Manordeilo and Salem?
We do. We send a technician to Manordeilo and Salem for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Manordeilo and Salem
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Manordeilo and Salem
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
