Bath repair at your home in Radyr
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Radyr
Are there extra charges for Radyr?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Radyr and the rest of Cardiff. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we are called out for in Radyr
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What bath repair costs
