Bath repair in Pantyffynnon without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Pantyffynnon
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we’re called out for in Pantyffynnon
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Common questions in Pantyffynnon
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are there extra charges for Pantyffynnon?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
