About our bath repair in Sgwrfa
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and a kit repair that didn’t last, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Questions from Sgwrfa
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
