Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

About our bath repair in Ynysmeudwy
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath repair in Ynysmeudwy
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Questions from Ynysmeudwy
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How invisible is a bath 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 quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ynysmeudwy. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, 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
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
