Bath repair at your home in Rhoswiel
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Rhoswiel
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Signs you need bath repair in Rhoswiel
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
Repairing versus replacing in Rhoswiel
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
