DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Merthyr Tydfil
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Merthyr Tydfil questions
Do you cover the entire of Merthyr Tydfil?
Everywhere in the UK, Merthyr Tydfil included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?

Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Merthyr Tydfil
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No need to remove anything
