Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath repair in Mountain Ash East
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and chips under the taps, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we’re called out for in Mountain Ash East
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?

- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Mountain Ash East
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
