How bath repair works in SY20
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for SY20. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us

- Most jobs done in one visit

Landmarks near Machynlleth
Typical jobs here are in homes near Skinners Arms, Maengwyn Chapel and Machynlleth County School. There’s a railway station in Machynlleth itself: Machynlleth station. Nearby you will also find Centre for Alternative Technology (2.2 miles north) and Machynlleth Community Hospital (under half a mile east). The countryside around Machynlleth includes Cambrian Wildwood and Llyn Ruck.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in SY20
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Your questions about bath repair in SY20
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
