How we handle bath repair in Tirdeunaw
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. Most baths can be used again the day after. We are frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and a chipped rim or side, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace in Tirdeunaw?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tirdeunaw. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Tirdeunaw
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
What areas do you cover?
All of Swansea, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Tirdeunaw?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When to call us in Tirdeunaw
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tirdeunaw use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
