How we handle bath repair in Ynysboeth
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Ynysboeth questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CF45 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you work in Ynysboeth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ynysboeth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repairing versus replacing in Ynysboeth
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlord and trade work in Ynysboeth
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What affects the price in Ynysboeth
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ynysboeth. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Ynysboeth
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
