Bath chip & crack repair in Waterloo, Caerphilly
We travel to Waterloo for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we handle bath repair in Waterloo
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Caerphilly.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Waterloo
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterloo use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

FAQs for Waterloo
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Waterloo?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Waterloo and the rest of Caerphilly. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
