How we handle bath repair in Cardiff
You can usually use the bath the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Cardiff?
Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns

- When it can be used again
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
