About our bath repair in Penarth
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Penarth
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you work in Penarth?
We do. We send a technician to Penarth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 the part we put right.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Penarth
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Penarth. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Penarth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For landlords and businesses
