Bath repair in Yr Olchfa without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Yr Olchfa. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
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 give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Yr Olchfa: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

Signs you need bath repair in Yr Olchfa
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
