What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Bath repair at your home in Pwll-mawr
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Signs you need bath repair in Pwll-mawr
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Landlord and trade work in Pwll-mawr
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pwll-mawr as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Common questions in Pwll-mawr
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
