Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
About our bath repair in Pen-Rhiw-fawr
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pen-Rhiw-fawr as everywhere else we work.

Pen-Rhiw-fawr: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Signs you need bath repair in Pen-Rhiw-fawr
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
