Bath repair in Pontardawe, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Pontardawe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What affects the price in Pontardawe
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pontardawe. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath repair in Pontardawe
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.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What we’re called out for in Pontardawe
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What else we do in Pontardawe
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
