Bath repair at your home in Ynysddu
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Your questions about bath repair in Ynysddu
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are there extra charges for Ynysddu?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ynysddu as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
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.
Common problems we fix in Ynysddu
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ynysddu. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
