Bath Repair for Ponthir homes
We travel to Ponthir for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
Bath repair in Ponthir without replacing anything
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ponthir as everywhere else we work.

Do you need bath repair in Ponthir?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 will not last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NP18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Common questions in Ponthir
Do you cover Ponthir?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ponthir for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How much does bath repair cost in Ponthir?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NP18 postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
