How we handle bath repair in Sirhowy
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sirhowy. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour-matched on site
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Signs you need bath repair in Sirhowy
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
