Bath repair in Waun-Lwyd without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Waun-Lwyd
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What else we do in Waun-Lwyd
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common questions in Waun-Lwyd
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you cover the entire of Blaenau Gwent?
We cover the whole UK, including Waun-Lwyd and the rest of Blaenau Gwent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Waun-Lwyd, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Waun-Lwyd
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
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 is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
