Bath repair in Splott, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Splott, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Common questions in Splott
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you come to Splott?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Splott. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
