Bath repair at your home in CF91
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Around Grangetown
We visit homes around St Patrick's Church, Grangetown Primary School and Grangemoor Park, among other places. Nearby too are Howardian High School (1.3 miles north-east) and The Baroness pub (within half a mile north-west). There is a railway station in Grangetown itself: Grangetown station. Other landmarks nearby include Firing Line: Cardiff Castle Museum of the Welsh Soldier (1 mile north) and Royal Arcade (0.8 miles north-east). The countryside around Grangetown includes Cock Hill and Glamorgan Canal / Long Wood.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for CF91. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
CF91 questions
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
