Bath repair in Wentlooge, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Wentlooge: your questions answered
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, 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.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Wentlooge included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wentlooge.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you need bath repair in Wentlooge?
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
