About our bath repair in Y Drenewydd
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Questions from Y Drenewydd
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
When to call us in Y Drenewydd
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Y Drenewydd
If you manage property in Y Drenewydd, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Y Drenewydd as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace in Y Drenewydd?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. 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. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Y Drenewydd. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
