About bath repair in SA18
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Prices in SA18
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a price

Near you in Ammanford
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The Bard pub, All Saints Church and Gwynfryn College and the streets around them. Ammanford has its own railway station: Ammanford station. Other landmarks nearby include Amman Valley Hospital (3 miles east) and Tir-y-Dail Motte and Bailey Castle (less than half a mile west). The countryside around Ammanford includes Llyn Llech Owain and Pentwyn Mawr.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in SA18
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
