What we’re called out for in Fforest Gôch
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
About our bath repair in Fforest Gôch
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can generally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Neath Port Talbot.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Fforest Gôch
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
