What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How we handle bath repair in Pontyclun
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We’re often asked to fix holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Pontyclun
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Pontyclun included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Pontyclun
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
