- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
About our bath repair in Upper Cwmbrân
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Upper Cwmbrân
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.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repair or replace in Upper Cwmbrân?

The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
