Bath repair at your home in CF46
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What’s near Treharris
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to St Cynon's Church, The Royal Hotel and Trelewis Primary School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Quakers Yard station, about 0.7 miles west. Further afield, we also cover the area around Llancaiach Fawr Living History Museum (1 mile east) and Ystrad Mynach Hospital (3.6 miles south-east). Not far away are Goitre Coed and Pwll Waun Cynon.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlords, agents and businesses in CF46
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
CF46 questions
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 you cover CF46?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to CF46 and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in CF46.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
