About our bath repair in Johnston
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Johnston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we’re called out for in Johnston
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Johnston: your questions answered
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Johnston and the rest of Pembrokeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
