Bath repair in Palmerstown without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Palmerstown and across the Vale of Glamorgan.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Palmerstown
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Palmerstown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Questions from Palmerstown
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the entire of the Vale of Glamorgan?
We work UK-wide, so Palmerstown is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How much does bath repair cost in Palmerstown?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
