Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us

Bath repair in Pwll-coch without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
When to call us in Pwll-coch
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Pwll-coch, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Pwll-coch: your questions answered
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Are there extra charges for Pwll-coch?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover Pwll-coch?
We do. We send a technician to Pwll-coch for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Pwll-coch?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
