Bath repair in Tremorfa, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Other services in Tremorfa
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

Your questions about bath repair in Tremorfa
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tremorfa. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Tremorfa
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Tremorfa, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
