Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Arvans. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in St Arvans, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repairing versus replacing in St Arvans
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
St Arvans: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
