Bath repair at your home in Mathern
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Mathern questions
Do you come to Mathern?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Mathern from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Mathern is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Most clients in Mathern get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
