Bath repair in Rhoose without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Rhoose
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common questions in Rhoose
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover the entire of the Vale of Glamorgan?
Everywhere in the UK, Rhoose included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Landlord and trade work in Rhoose
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Do you need bath repair in Rhoose?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
