Bath repair in Rhandirmwyn, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Rhandirmwyn
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
