About our bath repair in Portmead
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Portmead and across Swansea.

Common problems we fix in Portmead
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Portmead
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why Portmead customers choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
