Bath repair in Pencoyd without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we’re called out for in Pencoyd
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Pencoyd: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you come to Pencoyd?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pencoyd for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Pencoyd
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pencoyd. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
