About our bath repair in Tŷ'r-frân
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tŷ'r-frân. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?

Do you need bath repair in Tŷ'r-frân?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What else we do in Tŷ'r-frân
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
