Bath repair across SY21: what to expect
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole.
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- 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 day after.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What’s near Y Trallwng
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Welshpool Church in Wales Primary School, The Westwood Park pub and Oldford Nursery and Infants' School, among other places. Y Trallwng has its own railway station: Welshpool station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Powis Castle (1 mile south-west) and Powys Castle Museum (1 mile south-west). The countryside around Y Trallwng includes Yr Allt and Llyn Coed-y-Dinas.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including SY21. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in SY21 get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from SY21
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How much does bath repair cost in SY21?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for SY21?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
