DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath repair at your home in Pant-mawr
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

FAQs for Pant-mawr
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pant-mawr
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pant-mawr as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
