About our bath repair in Rhiwbina
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. A repair stops both. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

Do you need bath repair in Rhiwbina?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Questions from Rhiwbina
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Rhiwbina?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
