Bath repair at your home in Pen-tŵyn
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. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-tŵyn
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Caerphilly and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-tŵyn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Common problems we fix in Pen-tŵyn
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions from Pen-tŵyn
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Pen-tŵyn?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- Roll-top & freestanding

What affects the price in Pen-tŵyn
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pen-tŵyn. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
