- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Bath repair in Pen-y-garn without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Pen-y-garn?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Landlord and trade work in Pen-y-garn
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-y-garn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Pen-y-garn
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
