DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Briton Ferry
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Briton Ferry questions
How much does bath repair cost in Briton Ferry?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What affects the price in Briton Ferry
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
