Bath chip & crack repair in Ferryside, Carmarthenshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Ferryside, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
About our bath repair in Ferryside
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the next day. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Carmarthenshire.

When to call us in Ferryside
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Ferryside questions
How much does bath repair cost in Ferryside?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ferryside.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
