Bath repair in Tai'r Bull, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tai'r Bull as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Tai'r Bull
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
