About our bath repair in Ty Coch
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Ty Coch
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site

Ty Coch: your questions answered
Do you come to Ty Coch?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ty Coch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Ty Coch
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Ty Coch contact us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ty Coch. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
