Bath repair in Pen-y-banc, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Pen-y-banc: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What affects the price in Pen-y-banc
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pen-y-banc. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
When to call us in Pen-y-banc
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
