How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Bath repair at your home in Rock
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need bath repair in Rock?
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
Most customers in Rock get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Your questions about bath repair in Rock
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the whole of Neath Port Talbot?
Everywhere in the UK, Rock included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rock
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
