How we handle bath repair in Troedyrhiw
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Troedyrhiw and across Merthyr Tydfil.

Do you need bath repair in Troedyrhiw?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Repairs by material
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’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

Repair or replace in Troedyrhiw?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Troedyrhiw

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
