About our bath repair in Cwmgwrach
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
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
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

What else we do in Cwmgwrach
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SA11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Cwmgwrach
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Cwmgwrach and the rest of Neath Port Talbot. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Signs you need bath repair in Cwmgwrach
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before you book anyone
- How to care for the finish
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cwmgwrach. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
