Bath repair at your home in Waungron
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. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Waungron
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

What else we do in Waungron
Landlord and trade work in Waungron
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Waungron
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel

Common questions in Waungron
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you cover Waungron?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Waungron and the rest of Swansea. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Waungron
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
