Bath Repair in Grovesend and Waungron
We travel to Grovesend and Waungron for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Bath repair in Grovesend and Waungron, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Grovesend and Waungron: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Swansea. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Grovesend and Waungron
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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 repair chips early.
