How we handle bath repair in Porthcawl
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Porthcawl: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover Porthcawl?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Porthcawl. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Porthcawl and the rest of Bridgend. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common problems we fix in Porthcawl
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Porthcawl
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace in Porthcawl?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Porthcawl. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
