How bath repair works in NP22
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 cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Around Tredegar
Typical jobs here are in homes near Tredegar Comprehensive School, The George pub and St George's Church. Tredegar’s nearest station is Ebbw Vale Town station, roughly 1.9 miles east of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Tredegar Museum (within half a mile south) and Festival Park (2.8 miles south-east). The countryside around Tredegar includes Glyncoed Lake and Rhymney Hill.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repairing versus replacing
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
