Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairing versus replacing in Pwll-y-glaw
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pwll-y-glaw. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found 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 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SA12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What affects the price in Pwll-y-glaw
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Do you need bath repair in Pwll-y-glaw?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Your questions about bath repair in Pwll-y-glaw
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Pwll-y-glaw included. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
