About our bath repair in Pen-yr-heol
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we’re called out for in Pen-yr-heol
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Pen-yr-heol get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Pen-yr-heol: your questions answered
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pen-yr-heol and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How much does bath repair cost in Pen-yr-heol?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Merthyr Tydfil.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
