When to call us in Treowen
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Common questions in Treowen
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.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you cover the whole of Caerphilly?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Treowen?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP11 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
