Bath repair in Pontprennau without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Pontprennau, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pontprennau. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Pontprennau
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Pontprennau. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas

How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Pontprennau
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
