How bath repair works in SA13
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What’s near Felindre
In Felindre, that means homes near St Joseph's Catholic Infant School, St Agnes Church and Glan Afan Comprehensive School and the streets around them. The closest station to Felindre is Port Talbot Parkway station, roughly 0.5 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include Baked Bean Museum of Excellence (1.6 miles west) and Aberafan Centre (less than half a mile south-west). Open spaces near Felindre include Gnoll Estate Country Park lake 1 and Mynydd Dinas.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Questions from SA13
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How do I get a price for bath repair in SA13?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
