DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath repair in Johnstown
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Johnstown
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Johnstown. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Johnstown, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Johnstown
What areas do you cover?
All of Carmarthenshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
