Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

St Mellons: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in St Mellons, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in St Mellons
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK
