Bath repair in Romilly without replacing anything
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. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Romilly
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Romilly?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Other services in Romilly
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Romilly, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace in Romilly?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
