How we handle bath repair in Pontywaun
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Pontywaun
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NP11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common questions in Pontywaun
Do you cover the whole of Caerphilly?
All of Caerphilly, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you come to Pontywaun?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pontywaun and the rest of Caerphilly. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Pontywaun?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What we are called out for in Pontywaun
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
