About our bath repair in Pencoedtre
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Signs you need bath repair in Pencoedtre
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Pencoedtre contact us are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Repair or replace in Pencoedtre?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place

Common questions in Pencoedtre
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you cover the entire of the Vale of Glamorgan?
Everywhere in the UK, Pencoedtre included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
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
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
