Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
About our bath repair in Rhiw
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and damage beneath the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Rhiw, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Rhiw
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Rhiw?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Rhiw?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rhiw. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
