How we handle bath repair in Fforestfach
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Also in Fforestfach
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Fforestfach: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Fforestfach?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fforestfach for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
We cover the entire UK, including Fforestfach and the rest of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair
