What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Bath repair in Minffordd without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Minffordd
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Minffordd?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Minffordd from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LL48 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Minffordd
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
