Bath repair at your home in Pen-y-coedcae
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Pen-y-coedcae. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
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.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Pen-y-coedcae, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Do you need bath repair in Pen-y-coedcae?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Your questions about bath repair in Pen-y-coedcae
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Pen-y-coedcae
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
