About our bath repair in Pont-Tyweli
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pont-Tyweli and across Ceredigion.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Pont-Tyweli: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common problems we fix in Pont-Tyweli
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
