Questions from Lower Sketty
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Lower Sketty and the rest of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lower Sketty?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA2 postcode.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Where we work around Lower Sketty
Lower Sketty is about 2 miles south-west of Uplands, in Swansea. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Lower Sketty is one of 153 towns and villages in Swansea we cover.
All of SA2 and SA3 is within our area. We regularly work on streets such as Mill Lane, Warwick Road and Ashleigh Road and the roads around them. Nearby, we also work in Penyrheol (1 mile north), Sketty (1 mile north), Brynmill (1 mile north-east), Tycoch (1 mile north) and Garn-Las (2 miles north).

Landmarks near Lower Sketty
In Lower Sketty, that means homes near Woodman pub, Mayals Primary School and Emmanuel Grammar School and the streets around them. Lower Sketty’s nearest station is Swansea station, roughly 3 miles north-east of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Oystermouth Castle (1.7 miles south) and Egypt Centre - Swansea University (1 mile north-east). For a walk, there’s Bishop's Wood and Pluck Lake.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Lower Sketty
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Typically one visit, start to finish
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Lower Sketty get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Lower Sketty
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
