What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath repair in Porthyrhyd, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Porthyrhyd
Porthyrhyd questions
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Porthyrhyd?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
Repair or replace in Porthyrhyd?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What affects the price in Porthyrhyd
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Porthyrhyd. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
