DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pen-y-cae. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Pen-y-cae, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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’s the part we put right.

Pen-y-cae: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath repair in Pen-y-cae?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Do you cover Pen-y-cae?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pen-y-cae. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-y-cae

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
