Common questions in Tal-y-cafn
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Bath repair in Tal-y-cafn without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Repairing versus replacing in Tal-y-cafn
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Tal-y-cafn
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Tal-y-cafn
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
