How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Bath repair in Pontrhydyfen, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Pontrhydyfen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Pontrhydyfen
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Pontrhydyfen
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Pontrhydyfen?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
