Bath repair in Michaelston-y-Fedw without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Michaelston-y-Fedw: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we’re called out for in Michaelston-y-Fedw
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Michaelston-y-Fedw. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.

Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Michaelston-y-Fedw.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
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
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
