Bath Repair in Pontymister
Bath repair across Pontymister and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair in Pontymister, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

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. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Pontymister
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
