Bath Repair for Pen-y-Dre homes
Problem with your bath in Pen-y-Dre? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Pen-y-Dre questions
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Pen-y-Dre?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Pen-y-Dre get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-y-Dre
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
