Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What else we do in Tongwynlais
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Tongwynlais questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?
Everywhere in the UK, Tongwynlais included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tongwynlais. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we’re called out for in Tongwynlais
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
