Bath repair in Swiss Valley, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Swiss Valley and across Carmarthenshire.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Swiss Valley: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Swiss Valley included. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Swiss Valley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers typically contact us about:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
