How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Y Tymbl
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Do you need bath repair in Y Tymbl?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
