Bath repair in Tŷ-canol without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tŷ-canol. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tŷ-canol, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Tŷ-canol questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What else we do in Tŷ-canol
Repairing versus replacing in Tŷ-canol
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One price list for the entire UK
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tŷ-canol
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Tŷ-canol, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
When to call us in Tŷ-canol
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
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 usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
