Bath repair in Ynyshir without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ynyshir. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

Your questions about bath repair in Ynyshir
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
All of Rhondda Cynon Taff, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover Ynyshir?
We do. Technicians travel to Ynyshir from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
