About our bath repair in Llangennith
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. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Llangennith

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.

Do you need bath repair in Llangennith?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
Your questions about bath repair in Llangennith
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swansea.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

What else we do in Llangennith
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
