How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
About our bath repair in Wern-olau
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Wern-olau
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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 will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
