How we handle bath repair in Pen-y-groes
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Pen-y-groes
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Pen-y-groes. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What we are called out for in Pen-y-groes
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repairing versus replacing in Pen-y-groes
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 takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Pen-y-groes questions
Do you cover the entire of Carmarthenshire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
