What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Your questions about bath repair in Pontrilas
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Pontrilas
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A hole punched through by something heavy

- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
