Bath repair at your home in Bon-y-maen
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Other services in Bon-y-maen
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bon-y-maen
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business

What affects the price in Bon-y-maen
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bon-y-maen. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we’re called out for in Bon-y-maen
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides

Common questions in Bon-y-maen
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bon-y-maen?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SA1 postcode.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
