Bath repair at your home in Y Waun
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Y Waun
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath repair in Y Waun
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not 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, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Y Waun use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repairing versus replacing in Y Waun
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
