About our bath repair in Lower Penarth
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Lower Penarth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Questions from Lower Penarth
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common problems we fix in Lower Penarth
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
