DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle bath repair in Tonteg
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rhondda Cynon Taff.

Questions from Tonteg
How do I get a price for bath repair in Tonteg?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF38 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Rhondda Cynon Taff, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Repair or replace in Tonteg?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Tonteg, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
