Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Bath repair at your home in Ynystawe
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ynystawe and across Swansea.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ynystawe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One price list for the whole UK

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Ynystawe
Your questions about bath repair in Ynystawe
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Swansea, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ynystawe. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
