Bath repair across CF24: what to expect
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath.
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
What it costs in CF24
Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for CF24. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You’ll also find Howardian High School (0.8 miles east), Centre for Occupational and Health Psychology (under half a mile north) and Parc Mackenzie (within half a mile north-east). There’s a railway station in Castle itself: Cathays station.

For a walk, there’s Cock Hill and Roath Park Lake.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in CF24 as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we are called out for in CF24
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Repair or replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 will get a fixed figure back.
