About our bath repair in Tir Syr Walter
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Landlord and trade work in Tir Syr Walter
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tir Syr Walter. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
