How we handle bath repair in Duffryn
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Your questions about bath repair in Duffryn
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do you work in Duffryn?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Duffryn and the rest of Neath Port Talbot. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
