Bath repair at your home in Rhydwaedlyd
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cardiff.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Rhydwaedlyd
Are there extra charges for Rhydwaedlyd?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
