Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Ynysymaerdy questions
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What we are called out for in Ynysymaerdy
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ynysymaerdy. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
