How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

St Fagans questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes St Fagans. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you are in St Fagans and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
