How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Banwen. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Banwen
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Repair or replace in Banwen?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Banwen
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Banwen?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
