Bath repair at your home in Tairgwaith
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tairgwaith. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Tairgwaith, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Questions from Tairgwaith
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Carmarthenshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Tairgwaith and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
