How we handle bath repair in St Dials
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torfaen.

What else we do in St Dials
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Repairing versus replacing in St Dials
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Questions from St Dials
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Common problems we fix in St Dials
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include

- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
