About our bath repair in Ystalyfera
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Ystalyfera: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Ystalyfera?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ystalyfera from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we’re called out for in Ystalyfera
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

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
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
